Hi,
Depo shots for family planning avoid ovulation& avoid pregnancy. It's a hormonal preparation, and is known to cause irregular/ scanty/ no periods . The nausea,may be a side effect to the high hormone itself.
Its very rare to get pregnancy to occure while getting the shots regularly . .So don't worry.
Still if you have doubt, Blood HCG test would clear it.
Thanks.
