What Are Chances Of Pregnancy When Depo Is Discontinued?

I was on Depo for 17 years in Nov 2013. I decided not to take it anymore. I have been off of it for 4 months now. The condom broke on my husband and I this evening. What are the chances of me getting pregnant. I am 40 years old. I have one son that is 17. Husband and I have been together for 26 years now.
