I believe I stopped getting my period right away.

It's unlikely that you are pregnant if you have been getting the shot when you are supposed to.

I loose my period as soon as I get my shot for Depo (my next period never comes)
Depo works very well, so if it was given to you properly you should be fine. You can always take a test to be sure, and to get your mind off of worry. But I am sure everything is fine. Smile
