Anovulation: It sounds as if you're experiencing anovulatory cycles. These are cycles in which the ovary fails to release an egg. This disrupts hormonal levels and makes the cycle abnormal.

Shot: The shot is progesterone. This can cause bloating but not cramping. Not having a period once you have had a couple of shots is normal. You should see your doc.
