Q: Depo Provera side effects - abdominal pain

Has anyone experienced lower center abdomimal pain while on depo? I've had two shots and this pain started about a week ago. It's not too bad in the morning when I get up but by midday it is there constantly though not severe. It comes and goes in severity but nothing unbearable (except for the worry of what's causing it). It really feels like gas and pressure more than anything. I do hear noises in my stomach/intestines and can feel movement (like gas moving through) occasionally and I do pass gas which does cause the pain to subside a bit but not go away completely. I've seen my primary doctor about this and my gyne. Thanks.

I had the same issue. Constant nausea followed for the next 8 months,and a strange rash-like symptom on my nipple area...if you have issues now dont continue- it only gets worse. seriously.

Did you see your doctor about it? I haven't had any nausea though. Unfortunately, I am about 4 weeks away from my next shot so that means that I have at least 4 weeks to wait for the side effect to wear off. I can live with the pain -- it's not unbearable but it's the worry of not knowing what it is.
