I'm not here to tell you what to think or do, but to give you as much honest, accurate information as possible. If I don't know an answer to a specific question, I'll research it before replying. I won't sugarcoat things; my job is to tell it like it is.
I've got a particular interest in sexual health and sexuality. I know a lot about fertility and pregnancy - and firsthand now, as I've just had twins. I'm also an accredited sexual health worker.

The injection can sometimes cause your periods to stop, or to be irregular. This is something best discussed with your doctor, as they can tell you what normal side effects to expect - as well as which ones aren't as normal.
If the nurse told you to not have sex for 20 days and you had sex in 14 days, then pregnancy might also be a worry. I definitely recommend you make an appointment to see your doctor/nurse and explain the situation. They will be able to judge a realistic chance for pregnancy, and also whether your missed period is due to a possible pregnancy or the injection itself.
Best of luck.
