I was prescribed Provera to induce my period, and also birth control. I didn't get AF from Provera, and I was wondering if others had been prescribed only birth control to get on a normal cycle? I was prescribed birth control a couple of years ago to get back on a normal cycle, and I am curious if I could just start the birth control pills this time to get a "normal" cycle, or if there is a reason I was prescribed Provera first? Any ideas? I have a doctor appointment in a week, but I am just curious about others experiences.

Provera is prescribed to induce AF, yes, because the reality of BCPs is that the AF you get while taking them is not a real AF in the sense of shedding uterine lining. BCPs just keep you "regular" in various ways after you get rid of the excess lining.

I personally would contact the doctor or wait for your appointment to ask about it before starting the BCP, but I think I've heard of it going both ways (need AF before starting BCPs, or it's okay to just take them anyway). It can also take a while for AF to start after you use the Provera.
