Unhappy Provera Side Effects?

I have been taking provera for about 22 days now and I feel extremely tired at times after taking the medication. Anyone else?

there are different doses for Provera. One of the ways to be treated is to take it 21 days out of the month, like a BCP.

I usually take it for 5 days every 6 months, but I have had it 2 months in a row recently. I think I'll need another month's supply because it's not working as it should.

I get very hormonal (or crazy as MY hubby calls it too! LOL) while I take it, and then I get the PMS symptoms before I get the period too. It's basically 3 weeks of torture but I kind of like getting a period, it makes me feel like I've joined a club! I just don't get them naturally.

My doctor has me taking provera for 10 days and this is the first I've ever been on it. The first day I had horrible stomach cramps! I haven't really felt tired from it yet, but I've definitely been a little emotional.

I had 3 Provera cycles (5 days each) and luckily they weren't that bad for me. I only noticed that my face felt a lot warmer (similar sensation as when you're having a minor fever).

Ezrebeth - I think it varies for women. I got my AF 2 days after my last pill. When I was on BC, my period also always came 2 days after the last pill, I don't know if this was just a coincidence.

OMG moody, emotional, crampy etc. It constantly felt like the day before AF. I finished Provera 3 days ago. No AF yet. Hate all this waiting . . . .!!

I'm going to start taking this today to STOP my periods as well. I really hope I don't get too emotional, I haven't been on the camila I've been taking...which is the same hormone from what I understand.

I just started my first round of Provera. I take it for 10 days, I'm on day 6 now. So far minor fever and minor hot flashes. Will start clomid on cycle day 5.
