hi..
you are having depo injection(progesterone) for contraception..
it is a common sideeffect with progesterone to have irregular bleeding.. mood swings, and headache..
inorder to reduce this, do some exercises, meditation..
pregnancy possibility is remote..
see your gynaecologist if it doesnot help..
all the very best..
I find this answer helpful
