PROVERA  (MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE):  Medroxyprogesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin). This medication is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. This medication has several uses. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, this medication is used to treat abnormal bleeding from the uterus and to restore normal menstrual periods in women who have stopped having them for several months (amenorrhea). Medroxyprogesterone is also used as part of combination hormone replacement therapy with estrogens to reduce menopause symptoms (e.g., hot flashes). Medroxyprogesterone is added to estrogen replacement therapy to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus. This medication must not be used to test for pregnancy.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Irregular periods; TTC Whoa... it finally kicked in. Lots of cramps & back ache & a little more emotional, but nothing out of the ordinary for PMS. It's a heavy period, which I expected after reading the other entries. Next up, tube check! M 37 5 days

 5  TTC No major side effects other than bloating, mild cramps, and some gas. I just completed my period and to my surprise it lasted exactly 7 days. It was't heavy had some small clots but nothing alarming. I did see some brown discharge but the nurse said it was my uterus lining which was to be expected. I already did my hormone lab work and now just waiting for the response from my doctor. Next step is CLOMID!!! I can't wait...sigh! = ) M 35 10 days

 4  Irregular Periods I am on my 6th day of taking this med, feeling fine. I've been exercising more than ever before. Most comments on here are scary. The only negative thing I have going on is sore nipples. I ran regularly so this morning during my run Ive started to feel pain in my left side. Pain was strange, not something I have ever experienced during running before. Except for that no other changes, mood is normal and stable, no changes. M 31 10 days

 3  regulate cycle weight gain, acne, increased appetite, horrific & violent mood swings, hot flashes it did regulate my cycle, so far that is, however, i would rather just bleed constantly then to suffer the side effects. i gained 6 lbs in 6 days. i could not stop eating, and no one wanted to be around me, i was sooo mean. so, it solved the problem, but i wouldn't do it again. i'd rather have a d&c.

 3  Induce period - trying to conceive Taken once a day at dinner time, made my heart race, tired and achy during the day, insomnia at night, constantly hungry, short fuse, irritable, mild constipation, BLOATED, over all not great. I just finished the provera, and I am waiting for my period to start. This is my second time taking it and while its not great, in the end I know it will be worth it. I don't ovulate/menstruate regularly so I took the provera to start my period so that I can take clomid. It reminds me of some bad periods when I was younger but definitely something I can handle.

 3  Havent had a period in 14 months Extremely emotional. . . And bad moods. Very tempermental. I need help or advice. I took Provera for 10 days after not having my period for 14 months. About 4 days after I stopped Provera I started my period. It is now 10 days later and I still have a heavy flow. I have read articles and they say you should bleed 5-7 days well Im going on day 11 with no end in sight. My husband will probobly kill me soon if these emotional bad moods dont end soon so if you know anything that can help me or if 10 days of bleeding is normal after 14 months of no bleeding. Please i need advise. M 23 10 days

 5  Infertility/No Periods Emotional for the first three days, slight breast tenderness I've had very few issues with this medicine. I'm on day 7 of 10, and let me tell you, I feel great. I haven't had a natural period in a couple months and I have to have one so I can start taking Clomid. I've read horror stories about how insane it makes you feel and the awful mood swings- I must be one of the lucky few that has had few issues. I would definitely take this medicine again.
