Depo-Provera and possible Pregnancy

Hello... I am new to this board and I am sooooooo concerned. I'll give you a little bit of background first.

- Started Depo 5 years ago
- Took Depo and directed for 4 years
- Last year for some reason I decided to stop taking it for almost a year (had periods, but the were abnormal... as expected)
- This past December I decided to start it again and got my shot
- Was supposed to go back in March for my second shot but because of financial problems, I couldn't afford the shot
- I still haven't had a period since
- I unfortunatly had intercourse without protection but, (please excuse my language) the man never "finished"inside of me (this was about 1 week ago)

My questions are:

1) What would be the likelihood that I could be pregnant? (I am having pains and feel that this could be the answer)

2) How quickly can pregnancy tests pick up pregnancy? (days I mean :) )(I know that you normally have to miss a period, but I haven't had one regardless)

3) Do I have to wait until I have another period before I can re-start Depo again and be "faithful" to it?

Thank you so much,

Jeanette
