Seeing how you said the 3 month injection you mean like Depo Provera.
I was on Depo for 3 years and it seems to sound as though you're dealing with the issues of the side effects of the birth control. It happens and really sometimes you get them sooner or in your case later.
I was on it for over 2 years before I started having brown discharge (Not really anything to worry about but do check to make sure you are not pregnant with a simple home pregnancy kit) and the bloating is from your body taking on more water weight.
You can even look up the side effects of the birth control. Here's the website that I found very helpful when I was on it

Even if you're not on Depo Provera (the name brand drug) there are also off name brands that share the same ingredients (that's the word to use...) of Depo and it'll have the same side effects.

Hope this helps :)
