Ive been off depo for nearly 3 months now I was on it for over a year, recently in the last few weeks I've been getting bad breast and nipple soreness and tenderness which is very uncomfortable. Also in the last few days I've had a constant lower abdominal cramps which are even more uncomfortable!! I can barely stand straight with the cramps. Has anyone else had these withdrawal symptoms and if so what can I do to ease the pain or how long will it last
Depo provera withdrawal?? Breast/Nipple tenderness, lower abdominal pain?

Yes, they're common withdrawal symptoms as your body tries to rebalance.
I used a product called Agnus Castus (Vitex, in the USA) which helped lots. Worth researching. You can't use it if you're using hormonal contraceptive, but otherwise its great. Totally natural.
