Hi, I understand your concern. Depo provera takes about 4-6 weeks for return of fertility. So unprotected sex after 2 weeks of withdrawal of depo shot should not have conception.still you can check it by blood HCG testing after 1 month of sex. The symptoms of dizziness/ abdominal pain you are withdrawal symptoms. If you want to continue contraception,you should use additional ( barrier )contraceptive till one month of taking the dose of depo shot . Thanks.
