HI,
I understand your query & concern.
Depot provera is long acting hormone, to be taken 3 monthly.. and acts as an contraceptive. On withdrawal it takes a period of a couple of months to set normal menstrual cycle.
The problem you are facing are due to the transient phase of hormonal change. Please don't worry.It usually settles within 2-3 months of withdrawal.
Thanks.
