My Mood:  Points: 1,248.25 Bank: 0.00 Total Points: 1,248.25 |  Provera and No AF !!
Just a little background - I was diagnosed with PCOS about 10 years ago but had been on BCP to regulate my cycle. I got off because I believe they brought on depression and a general crazy feeling in me! I felt so great the past 6 months I've been off them, but did not have a period in all that time. My doc prescribed Provera to bring on a period.
My LMP was 11/1/07. I finished a 10mg dose of Provera on 4/4/08. It has now been 10 days ... and no AF!!! Not even the slightest bit of spotting or anything. I don't even FEEL like it's coming. My doctor said that it should come anytime from 3-10 days. I've taken Provera in the past (many years ago) and it always jump-started AF after a few days (I think it may have even once started while I was still taking the Provera!)
Has this happened to anyone else? What did they do to remedy the situation? I would rather not have to take another round of Provera because it made me extra emotional and moody. I spoke with the NP at the office today and she said that if I don't get AF by Thursday (14 days) then I should take a HPT... if it's positive, then that will be my answer (I am not actively TTC, but there is a very, very slight possibility that I could be preg). If not, then they will have me come in to do an u/s and blood work. Has anyone else had a similar situation? What happened? |

I did a round of provera after not having a period for over 6 months, and no period came. When I had a ultrasound done at the RE office he said it was b/c I had no lining to shed, so the provera wouldn't work on me. Anyway, I was trying to have a baby so he just started me on the clomid, which ended up being a failed round so my period came like a normal person (on it's own).

maybe you should try a natural progersterone? my RE prefers them but they are alot more expensive than provera and i have no drug plan.

I've only ever done 1 round of provera in my life and it took 16 days for AF to come. I thought for sure it hadn't worked and was going to go back to the doctor but after 16 days she came...and then I ended up PG after that cycle so that's probably why it was my one and only round lol

I took provera for a few years and it never helped me once. My uterus lining is really thin so maybe thats why it didn't help me. I also had bad side effects like really bad hot flashes and bad mood swings. Now I finally am taking prometruim which hopefully will help. | |

I'm on my last day of the 10 provera routine. No signs or symptoms of AF yet. I havent seen or heard from AF since 10/07. I never in my life thought I would want to have AF visit so bad.
Another question, does the provera actually help you to become more fertile? I've read a couple of post on here saying that they have become pregnant after 1 round of provera and was just curious how many cysters this has happened to.

I heard that it does not make you more fertile. It is possible to ovulate on your own, however. I am also taking HPT's before I start each round, because developmental delays are possible if you are pg and keep taking the Provera. Everyone is different. I'm just hoping I am one of those who ovulates on my own and gets pg on the first round Good luck! | |

I have taken Provera in the past and AF would always come while I was still taking them...This time they gave me Prometrium which is progesterone too No AF at all I called after two weeks they got me in did a U/S no wonder I had nothing to shed so they started me on Femara 2.5mg two everday for 5 days and I just took a progesterone lab test today I hope I O'd! Oh and my RE told me not to waste money on OPK's most PCOS women have high LH and will get false positives. I hope this helps. | |
