A member asked:

Why do i have mild pain in my ovaries i've just finished depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

DepoProvera: Depoprovera is a Progesterone injectable birth control that works by preventing ovulation. Since you just stopped using depo, your ovaries are developing an ovulatory follicle which can cause pelvic pain/discomfort.
