Thanks for reference,
Depot-medroxy progesterone acetate (DMPA) is progestin only contraceptive. Ideally should not be given to lactating mothers less than 6 weeks after birth.

But It is not causing any symptoms noted by you. It will cause tiredness or lack of oxygen etc.
The symptoms may be due to post partam changes and may subside after sometime.
