A member asked:

Is it normal to cry for no reason while you are on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone)? sometimes i get randomly emotional

Mood changes: You can have hormonal changes while on depo-provera, especially within the first 3-4 months. As your body adapts to the hormone changes, this will improve.
