Hi,
The protection with a depo shot dwindles as it reaches the third month especially with those who are overweight as the need for the hormone is in excess of normal in such cases. In the current scenario, you should get a serum beta-hCG assay to confirm/exclude pregnancy and follow it up with a trans-vaginal/pelvic sonogram. The failure rates with the depo are very minimal. If pregnancy is excluded, the cause of your symptoms should be sought for and a physician's opinion would be helpful. Hope this helps.
