It can take up to 18 months to get your fertility back, after stopping Depo. You will likely get lots of hormonal symptoms, such as bleeding, back ache, sore breasts, bloating etc, but this does not guarantee that ovulation has re-started, & therefore may just be your body adjusting to not having the Depo in its system.
It takes around 2-3 shots of Depo before the interim bleeding stops, & the other side effects pass. The bleeding can be heavy (as you experienced), but does pass once your body adjusts to it.
As you have had unprotected sex, then there is always the chance that you are pregnant.

The morning after pill can give you the exact same hormonal symptoms, as Depo, as a period, or as pregnancy can.
