Hi, I think there is very little chance of pregnancy. As you are breast feeding, it itself is a contraceptive upto 3 months. Also you have taken depo , wh8ch acts for 3 months. So, don't worry. Sometimes failure do occur, so if you don't get periods in time, do a urine pregnancy test just to be sure that you are not pregnant. Hope I have answered your question.
