Is it normal to have nausea backache tender breasts stomach cramps and being bloated 4 months after coming off depo provera?

Yes, it is normal to experience these side effects 4 months after coming off Depo Provera. Depo Provera is a long-acting contraceptive injection that contains a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone. It works by preventing ovulation and thickening the mucus in the cervix to block sperm from reaching the uterus.

When you come off Depo Provera, your body needs time to adjust to the absence of the synthetic progesterone. This can cause a number of side effects, including:

* Nausea

* Backache

* Tender breasts

* Stomach cramps

* Bloating

* Irregular periods

* Acne

* Mood changes

These side effects usually go away within a few months. However, if they are severe or persist for more than 6 months, you should see a doctor.
