Do Birth Control Shots Cause Hormonal Imbalance With Irregular Periods And Mood Swings?

Hi there, about two months ago I was on the injection for two months only. During this time I still got my period and I gained a lot of weight. Once i stopped I found that my period is very irregular as I was getting it twice a month and my mood swings are a lot worse. I have heard of hormone imbalance and I am not an expert but im guessing that is the problem. What would you suggest I do about it?
