Call your nearest planned parenthood offices immediately and tell them what has happened--they can get medical information for you very quickly or call the doctor who treated you for the termination--but get professional help immediately. And please no more unprotected sex-you already know too well the results-if you are old enough to be this involved, be mature enough to handle sex with responsibility. Good luck and God Bless.

Very unlikely you are pregnant. Depo is effective immediately as long as you get on your cycle or well before ovuation. In your case if you were pregnant, it will usualy take a few weeks to ovulate again. You are probably ok.
