Avatar f tn s not pregnancy) or do I have a few days left before AF is due to show. Like what is the general time frame after you take you last pill of Provera/Medroxyprogesterone. Also has Metformin and Provera worked for anyone without having the other things as well. Also what do I expect if have to get to the shot phase. I've been on clomid before and it worked for me, but is this something that i should ask for right away or follow the outline that my RE has for me?
777396 tn?1329787551 Hi, how are you? I have had one doctor tell me that I did have PCOS and another tell me that I don't...I honestly think that I do. What is funny though is the doctor who told me I don't is the one who gave me a never ending supply of the medroxyprogesterone. I have to take it every month. Are your periods just kind of irregular? At this point I actually don't get one at all unless I take the provera "medroxyprogesterone".
Avatar f tn hi im new on here. i finished my course of medroxyprogesterone on wed and still dont have any sign of a bleed....
Avatar f tn im not sure what you are asking specifically? im assuming you mean 10mg of provera, and the Dr wouldnt give it to you if you were pregnant? its taken if your periods are irregular or have stopped completely and your doctor can find no obvious cause, it may be that something has upset your natural hormone levels. Medroxyprogesterone(provera) can help to restore your natural hormone levels, because it mimics the effects of your natural progesterone. causing your body to get your period...
Avatar n tn Have you been on Provera (medroxyprogesterone) before? You should get your period 3-14 days after your last pill.
Avatar n tn I used Provera, too, for about 3 months until I started going through IUI. My uterine lining was dangerously and also way to too thick since i was not shedding my lining. I was not ov at all. After taking the provera, my lining got back to the correct thickness to support a pg. The second IUI worked. For me, the first af after starting provera was extremely heavy and accompanied by severe cramping. but thankfully the cramping only lasted a day.
Avatar f tn I just took my first dose 10 mg of Provera to induce a period i skipped 4 months in a row..... I'm scared after reading others experiences with the medication anyone ever take it?

Avatar m tn So my gynecologist put me on provera/ medroxyprogesterone 10 mg which I take every day. She put me on it to stop my periods so I don't lose anymore iron. I'd like to know what other people's experiences r w this medication and should I expect to get a period or not?
Avatar f tn re talking about is a birth control shot also called Depo-Provera. This is not a pill that you would take for five days it is a shot you would get in your doctors office. This is a type of birth control, you need to get the shot every three months if you were trying to prevent a pregnancy. There is a delay in returning to fertility that may be between 3 and 18 months depending on the woman. It also stops menstrual cycles in a lot of women.
Avatar f tn Hi! Sorry for the delay in the response. If you were my patient, I would recommend that you go ahead and take the medication. Common name is Provera. Because you have a polyp, your doctor may want to do a hysteroscopy/d&c procedure for you to clean out the lining of the uterus. This procedure will be easier if the Provera has worked first.

September I was advice to take medroxyprogesterone injection to normalize my hormones and after few day I bot Provera pills can I take them while I am on this injection or please advice me ?

3109572 tn?1341619613 They prescribed provera which is supposed to induce ovulation and bleeding which I will start tomorrow I delayed taking it because I wanted to give myself a chance to ovulate on my own naturallly...I didnt lol. The generic name for it is Medroxyprogesterone. It is used for this type of situation often I was told by the gyn. If it doesnt work for me I will request an ultra sound at planned parent hood clinic which they perform for $300.
873692 tn?1337275733 It is a birth control and is not intended for use in early pregnancy. Another name for this drug is Provera (popular birth control). It is a category X drug in pregnancy, meaning it can cause permanent damage to a developing embryo. I don't know how long it can stay in your system so that is probably why you cannot take it in early pregnancy. Next, call the pharmacy and speak with a pharmacist. Let a professional explain to you why you should not be taking this drug while pregnant.
Avatar f tn My obs/gynae dr has put on pregnyl injections twice weekly,asprin and vitamins and has recommend I start provera medroxyprogesterone acetatae oral tabs 20mg x3 a day from week 5. I am a bit unsure about the provera due to some side effects? How did you find the prometrium I think its similar.
Avatar f tn Is is possible that my son (who is now 16) has Autism because of Depo Provera birth control shots I received? My other 2 children are fine as I wasn't using any birth control with them. I received 2 shots and wasn't aware that I got pregnant during this time.........Is there a connection?? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/275403'>taking depo provera while pregnant</a>.
Avatar f tn Now result says I have simple hyperplasia without atypical. Should I be worried? Is it really gonna be cancer? Is it very worrying diagnosis? Please help me .
Avatar m tn m still on my period! so my doc prescribed this medication to me from what i gathered it is to stop the bleeding. will this make me ovulate after i have finished taking it? I really don't know awhile lot about it, so any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.
327405 tn?1223239755 My OBGYN prescribed me Prometrium - a progesterone supplement because he said I wasn't ovulating and this would help. He said if this didn't work then he would put me on birth control for 2 months because that would help also. Well the Prometrium (I took for 12 nights in a row) ended up working and I got pregnant with the ovulation that occured right after taking the Prometrium. I don't know what provera is (depo?), but you might want to ask him about that.
Avatar f tn ve then decided to stop actively trying to conceive for now, but recently I am starting to think about trying again. Will continuing to take medroxyprogesterone help or hurt my chances of getting pregnant? Is there something else more effective that will regulate my periods without preventing pregnancy? More information is that I was on birth control for about 8 years and have been taking medroxyprogesterone for about a year now. I take 2 pills per day for the first 15 days of every month.
Avatar n tn I haven't had period since Sept 28 so my Dr put me on medroxyprogesterone 10 days 10mg, but my period came down on day 4. should i continue to finish medroxyprogesterone so should i take metformin???
Avatar m tn there are birth controls out there that give u a period only 4 times a year so if what your saying is true this med would be band and thousands of women would have cancer.this is not true in most cases best of luck to you!
Avatar n tn Did your doctor prescribe you anything to induce a period? I actually have to take Provera (medroxyprogesterone is another name for it) every month to induce a period or I won't get mine. I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I have been having unprotected sex and I am 3 days late on my period. I have no clue what is going on. My questions is has anyone taken this and had this problem?
