Hi. Nulsrate is an injectable contraceptive containing progesterone and it is given every 12 weeks at the same time.It is very effective but the most common side effect of this is irregular periods. Since you are taking it for the last 1 year may be you are about to get withdrawl bleeding and getting cramps due to that. You must have missed your cycles earlier when on this medicine. But since it is 2 weeks now, when you are without protection , I will advise you to rule out pregnancy first.It varies from person to person to become pregnant after this. Some conceive immediately, while others may take 6 months or so.
Thanks.
