Delayed Periods, Painful, Tender, Heavy Breasts. History Of Missing The Follow Up Injection Of Petogen. Possible Pregnancy?

Dear Doctor I'm a 25 year old married woman. I've been on the petogen injection for 4 years. My follow up injection was suppose to be in March 2013 but I didn't go as my husband & I are planning to have another baby.
I didn't get my period yet & for the last two weeks my breast has been so painful, heavy & tender so bad I'm finding it hard to get up. Could this be because I stopped the injection or can it be something more serious? Another question I have is can I fall pregnant if I didn't get my period yet?
Please advice as I am really worried

Hi,
The Petogen injection is for contraception. It's a hormonal preparation.On withdrawal of the injection,the time taken for the periods normalis 4-6 months.
The breast discomfort & the delayed period is mostly due to the hormonal changes brought about by stopping the injection.
The pregnancy is possible only after menses come back to normal.
If you are very much eager a USG can give the clear picture at the moment.
Thank you.
