My doctor always says and also the slip you get with the provera says 3 to 10 days after the last pill you take you should get AF. I get it about 3 days later. Hope this helps.
When I took Provera I always had to wait about 7 to 10 days til my af arrived. I was always waiting impatiently. I am not sure why it always took me so long to start after the Provera, but I could always count on at least a seven day wait.

There has been a few times that it took 12 and 14 days to finally get AF!!! It was such a pain, especially when I was awaiting that AF to start fertility treatments and tests...Dont worry, it will come!
I would say, if it doesnt come after 12 days, and at the very latest, 2 weeks, let your Dr. know. That way, he or she could maybe try Progesterone I.M. which is stronger.

Both times I took Provera it was 10mg for 10 days and AF would show up about two-three days later. I always noticed I was much more irritable during the Provera cycles.

I took my last pill 10 days ago and still no af. This sucks soooooooo bad. I cramped really bad the first couple of days after the last pill, but now nothing. I haven't had a period since January.
So, zaiser, did you start af while you were still taking provera? Or were u just taking it for 5 days? I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to get AF while still taking provera to make u have it... I have 10 mg for 10 days perscribed to me & I was supposed to take it the first 10 days of June, but I haven't started yet due to the fear of starting my period before the 10 days of school, & I get out of school on the 10th & have to have it after that because I would refuse to have my first period ever during the week of exams! lol. Sorry if that didn't make sense, I'm bad at explaining things.

Provera- 6/4/04- Af.... we'll just have to see, won't we?
Symptoms: excess hair, obese, dark skin patches, insulin resistence, never had a period(yet), anxiety, hormonal imbalance, acne on chin/sides of face near hair, decreased breast size, mood swings, and tired feeling.
Ok, thanks. Yea, I trust her but I only saw her once & we just talked & stuff, so.... I think I'll start taking it tomorrow or something since it's a Friday, if I have any symptoms I'll get 'em over the weekend, when I start my 3 pills a day of Metformin, oh baby. So exciting. Oh, and I'm so sorry about that school incident I would have died!

Well that's good! I'm glad they were mature about it & not stupid idots like a lot of us high school kids, lol. Even the most serious things they can turn into jokes.... Thank you very much for the info & about the exams
