Could: Could be pregnancy, or could just be gas. Depot is not 100%. Nothing is other then abstinence. Take a pregnancy test. These symptoms could also be related to your menstrual cycle.

Pregnancy symptoms: Depo is not 100% effective, so if you have pregnancy symptoms get a pregnancy test especially if you didn't use a condom the first month of Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone).
