Specializes in Endocrinology

Response off depo: Response off Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) varies from woman to woman. Resumption of bleeding is a sign that menstruation may start to re-occur. Restoration of fertility off Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) can range from 6-18 months. Uterine lining is being sloughed off now that Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) has stopped.
