Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the delay in period can be due to pregnancy or the depo effect.
It might be due to pregnancy because the condom was ripped.
But the chances of pregnancy appears to be rare as you were under depo effect.
And depo is also one of the effective contraceptions.
The depo is associated with sideeffects like irregular periods,absence of periods etc.
So the delay might be due to depo shot.
Anyway confirmation is possible by doing a urine pregnancy test.
I suggest you to do the urine pregnancy test after a week because this test gives accurate results a week after missed period.
So relax .

Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
