If pregnancy tests are negative, you are not pregnant. Contraceptive shots maintain a prolonged activity in the body (3-5 months). Extra weight gain is one of the side effects of prolonged contraception. Stomach problems could be caused by hormonal contraception but also by reasons that are not at all connected with hormonal contraception.
