Minimal: If you have been getting the shot on time every three months and you are within that range- it would be very unlikely to get pregnant. Having said that- if you are worried take a pregnancy test. Also - just a reminder that unprotected sex had many more risks such as sexually transmitted infections (HIV , hepatitis, syphillis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, etc) so please be careful.

Highly unusual.: While it is highly unusual to become pregnant while taking Depo-Provera, it is still possible.

Very small: If you have been on the shot for a while and have been getting your shots regularly on time, your risk of pregnancy is small. However, if you think you may be pregnant, see your doctor and get tested.
