low sex drive
I've been using the two months injection then changed to a pill because my husband was complaining about it. He said that the reason why he doesn't want to have sex more often is because of the injection im using. Can the injection causes my husband to have low sex drive if im the one using it and not him?

No. Your injection may effect your sex drive, but not his. He is full of shit.
If he has noticed that his sex drive has decreased, then as others have said, he needs to see a doctor.
If he wont see a doctor, but insists on blaming you, and your contraception choices, then you need to see a therapist and talk about your relationship. Because that behaviour raises a lot of concerns that this man might be controlling, and abusive.

Since you have not given your ages it is somewhat harder to understand your question. I do though agree with Dragonflymagic in that this is a question better posed to a doctor.
One thing I am thinking about is psychosomatic reaction on the part of your husband. The mind can and does play horrible tricks on us from time to time. Perception is also a possibility in that if he perceives this to be then it is. For how we perceive things is real to us. I can also be totally wrong and this is just an excuse your husband is using for he has no other acceptable answer and no I do not think he is cheating on you.
It is very possible that there are other things causing your husbands sex drive to be off. Stress is a primary cause for many things including a loss of sex drive. Have you noticed signs of your husband being under more than a normal amount of stress either at work or home? An example would be if someone in his family was ill.
If you cannot identify any outside influences such as stress, a change in daily medication he may be taking or other things maybe a new job or position at work. Then I suggest you arrange for a complete physical for him. Here again not knowing your age, but if you are on birth control for birth control reasons I will assume you two are young. Then a yearly physical is something you two should both be having.
When you set up the appointment ask his doctor to screen him both for low testosterone and for depression. Screening for depressions is nothing more then questions the doctor asks during the physical. Depression is caused by stress. From these questions the doctor can tell if your husband is depressed or under a lot of stress. The screening for low-T as it is called is just part of the blood tests the doctor can order as part of each physical. Based on the results the doctor will be better able to treat you husband if there is a physical reason for the problem.
As your husbands wife you have a right to inform his doctor if you think something is wrong and that he may not say something to his doctor. My doctor has my wife monitoring me though there is a reason for it. I was disabled in a car accident. If my wife notices a change in me our doctor wants to know about it. Since changes happen slowly over time I may not notice it. The same is and could be true for your husband.

Thats a strange one I 've never heard of but then I am not a medical professional. There are sites that are specifically set up to type in your question and get an immediate response from doctors on line at the time for any medical related questions.
You said you got off the shots and are on the pill. Have things improved? If the husband has never had his testosterone levels checked, it might be a good thing to do. I know that my menopausal creams when freshly put on and not absorbed yet, could not come into contact with the skin of a boyfriend I used to have who was diagnosed with low testosterone count and was on a daily medication to off set that. However, getting my cream on his skin would go into his body and lower levels again.
Hormonal birth control works because the hormones simulate the ones released when pregnant so the body is fooled into thinking it's pregnant already and therefore doesnt release an egg that could get fertilized. It doesnt make sense that hormones that only work to stop an egg being released would have an affect on a man who doesnt have those parts. I'd ask your dr. or one online about that.
