Brief Answer:
low chances

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam thanks for trusting health care magic.
It is highly unlikely for you to be pregnant because depo shot interferes with ovulation to a great extent and its effect lasts up to 6 months at times.
But to be double sure all you can do is do a urine pregnancy test today and then two weeks later.
If both come out to be negative then it will rule out pregnancy at all times.
All the best.
