Hi!
Nausea on depot shots can be due to contraceptive failure and pregnancy. However, in such a case, it should be present daily. If you have daily nausea then take a pregnancy test and see. Daily or intermittent nausea (that comes and goes) can be due to acidity, which is a side effect of depot shots.  You can take antacids and see. Avoid fuzzy drinks, smoking and spicy food. Inform your doctor regarding this. Take care!
