Desperately need advice-Depo/pregnancy

I would really appreciate some advice.

I was on depo for 9 months, and was 2 weeks late getting my 4th shot. During the past year, I did not have any periods (yippee!) nor any spotting. About a week after I did get my shot of Depo, I was intimate with someone. I have noticed over the past two weeks that I am very very tired, bloated, have felt dizzy, have had fevers, have been very achy and sore all over, and have been spotting for the past two days.

I took a HPT the other day and it came back negative.

What I need to know is, what is the possibility of getting pregnant while on Depo? I tried to look on other websites, and there was a report of other people getting pregant, but there were no details of their circumstances?

Another thing I'd like to know - how could I find out when my LMC should have been?

It's been 29 days since I was intimate, and 35 days since my last shot of Depo.

How soon would a blood test be able to tell if I was pregnant?

Any and all answers will be appreciated.
