| 5 | excessive bleeding | slight headache a little extra hungry | I have been going crazy afraid to leave the house with the excessive bleeding. After my Dr did all tests and there were no other problems I was prescribed Provera 10mg once a day. Within 4 days the bleeding stopped completely and I feel like a million bucks! After reading all the other ladies having so many problems I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I have so much energy now, in a great mood and the slight side effects I will definitely take over bleeding and not being able to leave the house. | 47 | 8 days 10 1X day | 7/24/2017 | 5 | Imbalance hormone | I take 1 provera then after 1 hour I got my period I don't know what happen ...

Both times were to induce a period. There are no real side effects and if you need to start a menstual cycle this is the way | 31 | 7 days | 10/25/2005 | 3 | Heavy prolong periods | Headaches, insomnia, heart racing, tiredness, cramping and bloating | I have been taking this medication for 6 days and I'm still bleeding. It's not heavy as it was but it's still here.

I am on my second 10 day cycle and still no period. If it works this time, I will recommend it. My husband and I will soon by trying to get pregnant however, I need to ovulate first! | 28 | 10 days | 9/5/2006 | 2 | to get a period | No side effects at all but I have taken 10 Mg for 10 days and still no period. | 30 | 10 days 10 mg | 6/12/2012 | 1 | not having a period for a long time | The first few days I was fine I was on it for 10 days on the 11th day I started cramping as if I was getting a period them I stayed having light bleeding well for the past two days i've had major cramping and really heavy bleeding i'm tired my legs are sore i'm calling my doctor today about this heavy excessive bleeding | 10 days 10mg | 1/30/2013 | 1 | excessive bleeding | nausea, terrible back pain, cramps, heart fluttering, moods swings, personality changes, exhaustion, headaches, nipple tenderness | This med is awful. Didnt stop the bleeding and I have never felt more ill. | 51 | 20 days 20 mg 1X day | 7/13/2015 | 5 | endometriosis, constant pain | Almost nothing, brief period of morning sickness type nausea but that didn't last. Was still able to maintain and actually lose weight. | My period started when I was 9 and I had severe pain right from the start. At 12/13 I saw a specialist and had ultrasounds which came up mostly normal but they suspected endometriosis. They told me to come back when I started to have pain when I wasn't on my period. At about 18 I started to wake up in the night with what I can only describe as labor pains that would last anywhere from 10 minutes to 3 hours. I haven't had children but my sisters who have (and also have endo) have agreed the intensity of the pain is the same and sometimes worse than contractions. I had been on The standard pill since 13/14 to skip periods as pain management but when this started I couldn't find a pattern, or control it with the codeine I had been prescribed as it was so sporadic. Eventually had more scans done showing an abnormal wall of my uterus but nothing else. My GYN then prescribed me provera for 3 months. Immediately my pain stopped. I had 2 and a half months 100% pain free and then had two weeks (in my mind a long periods worth) of near constant pain but that stopped. She was highly suprised that's had no side affects and has allowed me to stay on it indefinitely and I don't see myself stopping any time soon it's the most effective thing I have ever taken and its been 11 years of trying to sort out my pain! | F | 20 | 3 months 10mg | 2/9/2016 | 5 | Constant daily bleeding for 18 mths | Horrendous periods. Extremely heavy with huge blood clots. Initially had headaches and mood swings but this disappeared around 3mths. | It's bitter sweet. Perfect to stop daily bleeding but causes horrendous periods. Great not to bleed daily but need to take 7 days off work and clear diary when get period. | F | 34 | 6 months 20 | 4/6/2016 | 5 | Bad cramps abnormal bleeding | Took this for bad cramping, fatigue, moodiness. Only prescribed as a ten day script. Just to help balance. Its amazing how well this has helped me. Day #3 coming in the a.m.My bleeding has slowed. My cramps are lightening up significantly and i feel great! | F | 40 | 1 days | 8/4/2016 | 5 | Irregular periods | I initially had some mild anxiety and stomach pain with bleeding for the first 6 days then started feeling better afterwards. The bleeding has stopped altogether. | I was told I might have breakthrough bleeding or spotting 3 days after finishing, but has not happened yet. I finished 1 week ago. I feel much more like myself again. Wow! Is all I can say. | F | 44 | 10 days 10 mg | 10/1/2015 | 5 | PCOS/ no period for 13 months/TTC | Bloating, tired, mod swings | This is my 2 nd time using provera and both times I have had minimal side effects. The drug seems to work well. I take the pill once daily for 10 days and 3-4 days after I get my period... Which is usually fairly heavy.once don't this round will go on clomid as TTC. | F | 25 | 10 days 10mg | 3/16/2015 | 5 | Terminal cancer | Bad taste in mouth,is my only gripe. | I think it is giving me more time, I have been on it one year | F | 72 | 100 days 250mg | 5/30/2020 | 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. | F | 28 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 6/25/2018 | 5 | Extreme heavy non stop bleeding | None really | Provera stopped the bleeding but once I stopped it the flooding came back. | F | 50 | 10 days 15mg 1X day | 6/3/2015 | 5 | Very heavy periods | No side effects at all | I love this, it's changed my life, haven't had a period for about a year; Total bliss | F | 44 | 12 months 1X day | 9/17/2020 | 5 | Heavy periods w/ clotting, anemia, | None | Love it; I was passing quarter sized clots and periods lasting over two weeks at a time and so anemic I needed a transfusion. I got my life back with this drug! | F | 51 | 100 days 10 mg 1X day | 5/11/2021 |
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.
