Hi, I think you have not taken your depo shot this time. So, you are not protected. You are at risk of pregnancy if you had an unprotected intercourse. Do a urine pregnancy test at home if your periods get delayed. If positive, consult a gynecologist if you don't want pregnancy. If negative, you can take some medicines like meprate or deviry for inducing periods.
