I finished taking 5 pills of Provera on Saturday night. I started experiencing cramps on Tuesday and Wednesday. I had some very light brown spots on Wednesday, with just a little red. Thursday morning the pain was really bad, so I took a Tylenol. This is the usual sign to me that my period is going to start that day. Well, the pain has been gone, but no "real" period. It's still brown, but coming in a little heavier. Has anyone else ever encountered this problem? This is what I tended to get if I got a period 2 months in a row. The first month would be normal, but the second month would just be brown and would be a lot shorter and lighter.

Is this normal? My RE said to start taking the BCPs 4 or 5 days after I started my period. I don't know if I should start them or not. I think that something is wrong. Is it possible that I should have been taking 10 pills instead of 5 and that is what is doing this? I just don't know what to do.

i have heard of taking only 5 days of provera instead of 10. But i thought you took the BCPs on the day your period started, or the sunday after. If it starts on a Sunday then you take the BCPs on that Sunday.
