Monday I called my GYN because I still hadn't had AF (last one was April 29). He phoned in a prescription for Provera.
Well, Thursday (CD 55!) I am almost 100% certain that I ovulated for the first time since last October!
Should I go ahead and start the Provera (I haven't yet) or just wait for two weeks and see if I get AF on my own?
Note: My last labs showed almost no progesterone in my system, but that would be caused by not ovulating. I'm assuming since I more than likely DID ovulate, then my body will produce progesterone on it's own. But it shouldn't hurt it to add some, should it?
I've never taken Provera before...

What is it that makes you think you ovulated? Temps, signs...?
Personally... I think i would hold off on the Provera. It won't hurt if you did O, I think it wouldn't hurt even if you were pregnant - but I'd really want to know for my own curiosity if I did really O. At worst you won't have O'ed, AF won't show, and you'll just delay your period a little while longer. A couple more weeks won't make a big difference... you're still within the periods every 3 months guideline.

"We've tried to wash our hands of all of this
We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbing, with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip..."

Up until Oct., I ovulated every month. I know when because I get prolific amounts of cervical mucus with low cramping on one side for a couple of hours. Then the next day - the cervical mucus completely dries up until AF. Knowing this about my cycle (and not having many other signs of PCOS at that time), I was able to concieve DD very easily - had sex one time the first month we were TTC on the day that I knew I was Oing.
I knew I stopped ovulating because I had the same amount of CM all month long and no cramp. After having the GYN tell me over and over that there is no way a woman can know she ovulated without a doctor checking (WRONG), he confirmed that I have NOT been ovulating. HUH. Guess I know my body better than he does. LOL
On Thursday, I had tons of CM and the cramping. Then by Friday, the CM dried up and hasn't come back. So I am absolutely positive now that I O'ed.

ive just been going back through some older posts and found this one, im dying to know did your AF come on its own?
back in feb i was sure that i o'd for the first time in months! like so sure, i had egg white cervical mucus (i even did the test where u drop it in water and if it makes a ball then it is EWCM) and i dont usually ever get that, and i got a mini microscope to see if i was ferning, and i did really strong for a couple of days, and i never got results that strong again (ive had it for six months) i am so sure that i ovulated, yet i did not get my AF until three days ago (six months after i o'd) i know that if u o u should get a period, but im so sure that i did. i hope yours came on its own. i know how great it feels to know ur body is actually doing that stuff on its own. i recently got my first period in like nine months, and im over the moon. i never thought i could be so happy to be bleeding and having blood stained sheets (sorry TMI lol) but it was the most awesome thing in the whole world!!!
awe im sorry u neva got AF on ur own. i know how disheartening that can be! i really hope that the provera helps get ur cycle into wack again and u start ovulation again soon. are u TTC?
hi all im on provera and been getting like a sharp stabbing pain each side of my belly and since then my temp has been 36.32 then 36.65 now for the last few days its been 36.89 and 37.02 could that mean ive ovulated on provera ???
Ovulation and Provera
