The depo injection is progesterone based, so, often when you come off this method, your body tries to overcompensate for the previously high levels of progesterone, by continuing to produce too much oestrogen, in an attempt to achieve some balance. This can result in oestrogen dominance, and heavier, more frequent periods.
As the injection was previously supporting your progesterone levels, your body might need a helping hand to start doing this again naturally. Progesterone is very balancing and can help to keep oestrogen levels in check. This is where the herb Agnus castus comes in, as it can help to support this process.
Please note that you should take Agnus castus twice daily, every day for up to three monthly cycles, for best effects.
