Pregnancy symptoms while on contraceptive injection, am I pregnant?

Hello everyone! Please, help me! I’m extremely worried. I use contraceptive injections as a birth control method every month for a year. I mean, every month on day 15 I use it by applying it under the skin. A year ago, when I started using it, my period started on that day (i.e. day 15th) but since I started with the injections, my period starts on day 5. In May this year I forgot to get my shot during three days in a row. After these 3 days, I got it and continued as usually and then this month I got my period twice, that is, on day 5 as normally and then again 10 days later (the last one was more like spotting rather than bleeding). Now it’s August and my period started on day 7, but with a brown discharge instead of my normal period. I thought the following day I would get my normal period but I didn’t. This brown discharge lasted like 3 or 4 days. The thing is I feel totally exhausted and awful. My symptoms are nausea, sickness, vomiting, and a “hollow” feeling in my stomach. My breasts are very swollen and it hurts and I can’t stop having cramps in the lower abdominal area. Please, I’ve never experienced these symptoms before, it’s horrible. Please, I’m confused and don’t know what to do. Do you think I could be pregnant despite being on contraceptive injections? Should I take a pregnancy test?
