Hello,
Blood test for beta-hCG is more reliable to exclude pregnancy. On negative pregnancy test, above features are mostly due to side effect of depo shot.
It is highly effective (99.7%) against unwanted pregnancy. So chance of being pregnant is quite low. Raised progesterone causes sore breast.
Take some medication for headache after consultation with doctor. Take balanced diet and drink more water. Good luck.
