A member asked:

Is breast tenderness a sign of coming ovulation after being off the depo-provera shot for 4 months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Breast tenderness in this situation is due to resumption of some normal functioning of your ovaries. It doesn't necessarily indicate ovulation however. And remember, you might become pregnant even before you see your first period after stopping depop shots. It would be safest to check this possibility out.
