Hi,
As you are not on nuristerate injection any more so you are not protected. Irregular and delayed periods are the after effects of injection nuristerate and does not mean that you won't conceive after sexual exposure.
You can use a barrier method for the time being or restart the injection nuristerate or visit your clinician to start alternate means of conception.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
