Thanks for using HCM
Since you have taken last shot in September, you were suppose to repeat injection once in every 3 months for its contraceptive action. You can get UPT done as your periods are delayed because chances of conceiving is there. For breast pain you can do self examination of breast for any lumps, pain in breast could be a premenustral symptom also.
Get well soon
