| 1 | To delay period | Please avoid this drug if possible. I ordered it from boots ( asked for another one to delay my period but been told to take provera as it small risk for blood clots. It worked I stopped my period from coming but the side effects are absolutely horrible. They started with headaches, 2-3 times a day and then I started to feel extremely lightheaded and dizzy. I was driving when I felt really sick, almost fainted. I had flu like symptoms for days. I thought I have a bug etc. Took me some time to realise is more than that. I stopped taking provera four days ago, still no period and still all the possible side effects. I can't leave house myself as I get confused, dizzy and lightheaded. Even after stopping taking provera I can't sleep at night, I feel extremely anxious. Please contact me if you felt the same after taking provera. Please cancerous let me know when I can expect the side effect to go away. | F | 37 | 10 days 10 1X day | 9/27/2023 | 1 | Uterine Fibroids Bleeding | I could not for the life of me figure out what was causing me to bloat and swells so badly and I kept going to the doctor thinking I had a kidney infection because I could not P my bladder felt full, but I would only P a tiny bit.

Unfortunately, I think this medication is the one making me sick. I wish they would just stop throwing medicine at us and try to figure out a plan. This isn't doing anything for me. I'm stopping at on day three which is today I believe this medication cost me a headache and some low back pain I haven't had before | I would not recommend this pill. Some of these medicines are downright dangerous. | F | 58 | 3 days 10mg 1X day | 2/19/2023 | 1 | 5 months with no cycle | I started to get sick on day 3, vomiting, nausea, just feeling terrible. Contacted my doc and they said to continue if I could. Finished my 10 day course. Still 2 months later no period and since day 3 I have cramping, and it's getting worse.

After I decided to stop taking them after concerns for the side effects of breast cancer and blood clots, I started bleeding non stop, with heavy bleeding, large clots, lower abdominal pain, back aches. I have been bleeding for for 14 days and there is no sign that it is going away. I have even taken Tranexamic Tablets for the required 5 days and I'm still bleeding. I would not recommend this medication. I believe that it was not good for me to take being obese and 49. My Gynecologist, told me that my Cardiologist will probably tell me to stop taking it, so why would she even prescribe this to me if she feels the Cardiologist wouldn't want me to take it and told me this after I had taken it for a month. I will never take this medication again, my bleeding is worse than before. It was just heavy before and lasted about a week.

I read a lot of bad reviews online. I told my doctor I didn't want to take it. He got mad and said I was wasting his time. I wish I didn't take it. My cramps were so terrible it was like I was 12 years old again, and the bleeding is non-stop like there's no size of pads to cover it. I used over 20 pads in 24 hours.

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.
