Brief Answer:
she is not be pregnant.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM,
As she is on depot shots, ideally it should reduce the flow of menses and some cases even cause amenorrhoea, but it offers protection against pregnancy by disallowing ovulation and hence if she has got her menses on 12th august and now that she is getting nausea and sore breasts, part of PMS, indicates that she may menstruate soon and unlikely to be pregnant.
