Soreness In Nipples. On Depo Shots, Due For Shots This Month. Soreness Due To Shots?

Hi , I've been on depo for almost a year now , and I'm due for a shot aug 1 but I go to doctor for yearly check up and shot the 7th . I don't think I can't take the soreness of my nipples . Is it the shot doing this ? I had sex week ago but my boyfriend did not come in me so I don't think it being a symptom of pregnancy .
