Contraception - pregnancy symptoms

Not sure if I’m posting in the right part here so I’m sorry if not!

I’m currently on the depo injection for contraception and have been for 5 months now. For several weeks/over a month, I’ve been having pregnancy like symptoms.. nausea, morning sickness, sensitive breasts, tiredness, etc. I used to be on the injection before and never had any of these symptoms and they’ve randomly started. I don’t get periods anymore but have recently been spotting light red blood.

This evening, I had terrible stomach cramps that went into my back and I’m now bleeding a fair amount - considering I don’t even have periods because of the depo.

I’m just a little worried.. is there any chance I could be pregnant or was and am having/have had a miscarriage? I’ve never missed an injection but I know there is always that very slim chance you can get pregnant.

I’ve done 2 pregnancy tests, both negative but I’m confused as the symptoms I have are the opposite of that?
