This medication destroyed my digestive system chronic acid reflux, heartburn pain etc. After taking acid blockers, PPIs for many weeks which made things worse , I quit the meds, cut out gluten, soy, corn, dairy, processed foods etc.
Anyway, my doctor wants me to take Provera to force a bleed She says after 3 months without a period increases the chance of developing uterine cancer due to thickening of the uterine lining. I did get blood tests done and everything is normal, but my doctor did say that my estrogen level is somewhat low 50 I think. Also, I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts very painful maybe a year ago.
They were rechecked 6 weeks later and had gone away. I also have chronically low ferritin levels, and I just resumed taking an iron supplement. Garden of Life Raw Iron. I would appreciate any advice or directions to more info. Hi Nico, I took the provera challenge 3 times, the first about 3 months after I stopped BC three months ago I was on Yasmin, an androgen suppressing BC because of the drospirinone.
The first provera challenge, I bled on day three. The second, 2 months later, I bled 8 days into the 10 day pack. Do you know why I might have such varying fluctuations in how I respond? What I can say, though, is that is is extremely unlikely that going all in would suppress your hypothalamus further.
I would vote to stay the course and see what happens a few months down the line. Hi , im 32 been on BC Ocella for 12 years and about a year ago May I stopped getting a normal period from one month to the other April was full on period May and there on was Very light so light that i only have to wear a panty liner bcux ill only catch blood IF i wiped. I continue taking BC for 5 months After and when i noticed no difference in periods i started getting scared so stopped. For 4 months i was on nothing and was still getting same amount n type of period i was on BC.
I saw no difference i still only bleed if i whiped. Any suggestions what could b wrong with me im so lost n my doctor just wants me to continue provera.
Hello, I was on the mini pill cerazette for 7 years with no periods. I came off this pill 6 months ago with no return of a period. My uterus lining is thicker at 9. I was given 10mg provera, 3 times a day for 15 days. I am obese and my gyno told me to lose weight before I am referred to the infertility clinic for more tests.
I always used to have periods before I went on the mini pill. Do you think I should take a second course of provera? Or continue to lose weight and hope my periods naturally return?
I am more concerned that my lining of the uterus is thick and not shedding allowing me to have a period. Should I book another pelvic scan to see if the lining has changed at all? Im 30 years old and TTC. Any advice would be great! Hello, thankyou for replying. Day 15 and my period came! Im now day 2 into a very heavy period. Ive booked another scan for june to compare the thickness of the lining. If you'd like to discuss further with me, perhaps you could consider booking a time for us to talk?
Cycles went from bleeding 14 days to days and bleeding starting before taking all 14 pills, roughly pills. Should I be worried or simply continue the remainder of the pills and see what happens? It sounds to me like your hypothalamus might be getting more suppressed through the continued weight loss.
Why are you on the provera in the first place — absent periods from when? Hi Nico, In January age 17 , I started taking birth control due to having heavy, long periods upwards of 10 days and a lot of random spotting. At the time, I had a lot of acne on my cheeks and chin which I had always had as well as abnormal hair growth on my nipples. My doctor suspected PCOS. I was underweight at the time always have been so this seemed a little odd to me. I ran cross country and track for all of high school and was training hard year-round, but up until this point my periods had remained pretty regular.
I started college this year and became kind of fixated on this idea of not gaining a ton of weight once I stopped running competitively. By June I had pretty much quit running altogether and only lifted weights 3x a week. I also practiced intermittent fasting to some degree because I always hated eating breakfast. During this time my acne cleared up almost entirely.
I lost about 5 pounds down to while on the pill, but have since gained up to around which is my heaviest ever—I started the pill around My acne has not come back. My doctor gave me the Provera challenge in May and I got a withdrawal bleed. Since around April, I have quit tracking and have definitely been eating way more more than cals a day. I recently stopped IF as well. After 2 missed cycles, I was diagnosed with 10mg Provera for 10 days.
I started bleeding after just 2 days taking the pill. Is there any way to understand what this means? What does it mean if I start bleeding while taking the progesterone?
Many thanks! Hi KB, sorry for taking so long to get to this.. I have seen other people bleed while still taking the progesterone.. I was on proveras for 10days and then after finishing my tablets. I just spotted for 3days dats all…Is it ok??? Or it means there is something wrong with me. I took provera and just got spotting for 2 days.
I came off of the pill in march to start ttc. Come September I still had not had a period so my obgyn started me on provera. First 2 rounds I started my 4th day from the last pill I took 10mg a day for 10 days. This third round, it is day 7 and I still have no started?
What could be the reason it would work for 2 months and not the 3rd? Hi Cheyenne, one reason could be just a different response. Our bodies are not machines so there are lots of small things that can affect them. Provera is not going to help you if you are TTC. If the info at noperiod. My husband and I are a year in of trying to conceive with no luck I do have PCOS and I recently found out I am not ovulating so my dr prescribed me Provera to regulate me and to help me ovulate so we can get pregnant.

These disorders include irregular or abnormal uterine bleeding, amenorrhea lack of periods , excessive bleeding and endometriosis, a condition in which cells that normally line the uterus grow outside the womb or in other parts of the body. It may also be prescribed for a short period if a woman is trying to conceive, in conjunction with the ovulation-stimulating drug Clomid.
When prescribed for women trying to get pregnant, Provera is usually given for 10 days. After that time a woman can expect bleeding from two to 10 days later. Clomid is started on day three, four or five of a menstrual cycle and helps ensure ovulation," says Dr. Provera does help regulate the menstrual cycle, but it can also interfere with ovulation, says Dr. Hakakha continues. Few women take Provera because they're trying to conceive. Not only can Provera interfere with ovulation, it is also not recommended for use during pregnancy.
