Has anyone dealt with Provera NOT working?? I'm currently on 1500 ml of Met, recently finished up my dose of Provera, and still, NOTHING!! ( no sign of O, no sign of AF, nothing!)
does anyone know why this would be?? I feel like my body is just SHUTTING down!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Aunt was on Clomid and she was taking provera every month to bring on her AF and the one month it didn't show up, the Dr. did a pg test and she was pregnant. I have only heard of Provera not working when there is a pregnancy. Any chance of that with you? Hope this helps.

I have never tried the Provera, but I did try prometrium, which I think is around the same type. It never brought AF either. I wish i could give you more info, but I do not know what the problem was. I have not had AF since Sept last year. Just wanted to let you know you were not alone in that. Niki

I will be making a visit to my RE this monday... he said last visit that if Met didn't work out for me, he'd break out the big guns ( whatever that is!!!)
so here I am, hoping for that miracle med, and trying not to get my hopes up!!
- -so sick of waiting around for all of these different drugs to "kick in"! i want something quick!!
Hey Jill --
Provera didn't work for me the first two times I tried it.... I wasn't taking anything else at the time, just Provera. I took a long break from it and now it's working (well, it did the last time I took it). Don't give up hope! Sometimes it might just take a while for your body to adjust.
Hang in there and keep us posted!!!

I guess the obvious problem here, is that I don't have enough estrogen... perhaps I just need some of that.... but i will let you know what the DR prescribes...
I noticed you were taking, or had taken gonal-F -- is that only used when doing IVF?? how does it work?? and has it for you???
I understand how fustrating it for you, especially when the doctors tell you: 'take this and your period will come in a few days', and you take the provera and wait 5 to 10 while taking it, then up to two weeks for af to show and nothing. I have answered this question before. I have been given progesterone and provera to induce af and it always came except one time. I took it for 10 days and nothing, I waited 3 weeks and nothing, finally the doctor put me on bcp's for a month with the explanation, that my body just didn't produce a bleed and take the bcp's to get the right hormones. I was so upset, It had been a month and now he wanted me to go on bcp's for a month. But to tell you the truth it wasn't so bad I took the bcp and af showed 3 weeks later. I hope this helps.

Hey Jill --
Acutally I took the gonal-f with plans to do the IUI (not IVF). However, I had a TON of follies, so my DH and I got to BD instead (we weren't interested in selective reduction, so my doc didn't want to do the IUI). I was pretty slow to respond in the beginning, so I took 13 days of injections rather than the originally planned 9 days, but by day 12, I had a BUNCH of follies. I have a bit of hyper-stimulation, but not the syndrome (it still hurt like heck for about 4 days)! I'm recovering now and I am currently in the 2ww (my first real 2ww ever). So, we'll see how it all shakes out. I go see my doc NEXT Thursday, so I'm trying to be patient (what's another 7 days, right?!?!?)...
I am following the gonal-f up with provera tablets (they are like lozenges, but they taste HORRIBLE. However, I hear that some women have to do the suppository thing, so really I need to stop whinning about the taste)!
I'm interested to hear what your doc has to say!
BTW -- are you a thin cyster? Perhaps that's part of it all too???

thanks for the info stephanie,
- so gonal-f is not used like clomid, then I take it... ( sorry -- don't know too much about it!)
I just remember my RE saying something about some drug that would produce a ton of eggs... and I couldn't remember if it was gonal-f or not ---
I am an "average"cyster -- almost 5'7" @135 pounds --- does that have anything to do with met working or not????
Provera not working!!
