Anyway, I didn't cum inside her and had urinated throughout the day prior to the last time I finished. She has taken the emergency contraceptive but I am still extremely paranoid. Is my worry over the chances of her getting pregnant overstated, or are the chances based on those facts alone low?

 If she had her last Depo Provera shot two days before this happened- she is going to be protected against pregnancy for 3 months from her last shot.
It is true that when you stop taking Depo Provera, it may take up to one year for your menstrual periods to show up again. That does not mean that you are protected against pregnancy for one year - your cycle could come back anytime between your last Depo Provera " coverage " and one year, you just don't know when .

 So stick with using condoms too for now.
Better safe than parents right now... right?

She hasn't been having periods since the last injection and her cycle did not return. I have read that Depo can last up to over a year if trying to conceive, making pregnancy quite difficult, but still some panic nonetheless.

I will quote WebMD:
"If Plan B One-Step is taken as directed after unprotected sex, it will decrease the chances of a pregnancy occurring. About 7 out of every 8 women who would have gotten pregnant do not become pregnant. However, research shows that Plan B One-Step starts to lose its effectiveness in women heavier than 165 pounds and is not recommend for anyone over this weight."
Chances are low, that she will still become pregnant, but it CAN happen. While I think it's good you two took the precaution to use an emergency contraception.... I think you two need to consider a more permanent way of birth control, IUD & condoms, the pill & condoms, the patch or implant & condoms.
Hopefully you two learned a lesson for the future. And honestly... there are SO many things y'all can do sexually that would NOT result in a pregnancy or an ooooops moment.
