Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking A Depo Shot?

I just got off of the depo exactly a month and two days ago. I had almost a full weeks period. I then yesterday had unprotected sex, and my partner came inside of me. Since I had my period since getting off of depo after a month, is it possible that I will be pregnant? Just want answers from experience. I got pregnant with my now 2 year old 2 months after I stopped depo last time. I mean, i know it s possible. I just want to know what others have to say.
