Hello,
I went through your problems. The complaints you have are most likely to be the withdrawal symptoms of Inj Depo-Provera. The pregnancy test by strip method in the urine and blood pregnancy test in the lab are negative for you. No need for any more tests.
Most of the withdrawal symptoms are due to anxiety and depression. If the symptoms are severe and can't be tolerated, you can take medication for anxiety and depression or as per symptoms.
Best wishes
