Hello,
Chance of pregnancy from unprotected sex after 1 month of birth control shot is quite low and it depends on your fertile period. Above features may be due to Premenstrual Symptoms.
However, you must undergo one home pregnancy test to clear doubt if you miss your regular period. Kindly, consult with your doctor after that.
