Thank you for the question and thank you for visiting our site.
A pregnancy test will turn positive about two weeks after conception. So, if you have not had unprotected intercourse in the last two weeks, and the test is negative, then you are not pregnant. While on the depo shot, the chance of pregnancy is extremely small. Given the fact that you are on the shot and the tests are negative, then the answer to your question is almost certainly 'no'.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
