Hello,
Pregnancy is less likely in the current scenario. The symptoms are more likely to be due to the depo-shot. Weight gain and stomach ache can be seen while on hormonal contraception. After having normal periods after the intercourse, there is usually no need to worry about pregnancy. If you still want to exclude, you should go for the serum beta-hCG assay along with a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram and see a specialist for further management. Hope this helps.
