Depo delay: A delay in return of periods is not uncommon with Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone). But it's unlikely that the lack of menses is what's causing you pain if you previously had normal menstruation and no history of infection or dilation and curettage.

Common after Depo: Unfortunately, after stopping Depo-Provera provera, (medroxyprogesterone) it could take up to a year for your period to return (worst case scenario). On the other hand, with your symptoms, i would still suggest a pregnancy test to make sure you are not currently pregnant.

Normal: It's normal to have absence of a period after discontinuation of the depot Provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot. Sometimes up to 6 months duration. The pain might be related to not having a period, but it also could be gastrointestinal. If it's severe then you should go to urgent care, or if not too severe, consider making appt with gynecologist for evaluation. Hope you feel better soon.
