Variable: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is such a powerful hormone for suppressing ovulation that it may take six months for normal periods to resume. Breast tenderness, spotting, cramping and premenstrual symptoms are usually signs that the ovaries are resuming the making of the hormones that signal the return to normal menstrual function.
