Hair is shedding really bad, just noticed that this morning. The heavy cycle and cramps didnt last as long but still bleeding for a week now. | I will only be on this medicine for a short time until I have the endometrial ablation next week. If anyone has had this procedure please let me know. Thanks! | F | 41 | 9 days 10 mg 1X day | 10/29/2013 | 4 | no period for 5 months, TTC | I have been on the "1 pill for 10 days" for two months now. Each month my period has come on exactly days 3 of stopping the Provera. So successful in the fact that I started my period. However, my period still does not come on its own (without the Provera. (Frustrating). Side effects were bloating, exhaustion, and lower back pain. | F | 25 | 10 days 1X day | 10/24/2013 | 1 | HRT along with Estrace | Breasts extremely sore and enlarged. Weight gain. Hungry all the time. Poor sleep. Mood swings, irritability. Abdominal cramping. Spotting. Painful breasts and mood swings (depression, suicidal thoughts) were definitely the worst problems. | Took Prometrium for 4 years with no side effects.

Chills, hot flashes, vivid nightmares(shaking during them bolting up and screaming, which I've never experienced before), body aches, head aches, emotional/moodiness, clumsy (have about 10 cuts from clumsily falling or doing stupid stuff which isn't like me either. It really does feel like I'm pregnant but worse even though I know I'm not. I wish I had never taken this drug!!! So far no period but this is worse than not having a period. I should have just waited it out to see if my period would come back or used a different means. I stopped breastfeeding 4 months ago and no period so my OB put me on this horrible stuff. | F | 28 | 10 days 10mg | 9/16/2013 | 4 | To stop a prolonged period | Tingling/pins and needles in arms, hands, lips off and on. | I was prescribed Provera to stop a 6-week period that was causing anemia. My bleeding stopped within a couple of days. About a week after taking the last Provera pill, I had another period. I had a couple of big clots the first day but otherwise it was a normal period that was not too heavy and stopped within 5 days. I am supposed to take the pills the first 14 days of each month. I am on the second month. The only side effect I have had is numbness and tingling (off and on during the day, not constant) which stopped completely the first month after I finished the 14 days. Other than that, I am satisfied with Provera. | F | 41 | 14 days 10 mg 1X day | 9/4/2013 | 3 | thick endometrial llining | Mild Tenderness of breast, bloated, blurry eyesight but manageable, vivid dreams & hot flushes on first few tablets, always sleepy, mild crampings after the 10th tab, lighy mens w/ small clots | F | 32 | 3 months 10mg x1D | 8/24/2013 | 3 | START MY PERIOD & TTC | Headache, cramping, hot flashes and nausea...it's not too bad, I hate the hot flashes, but once my cycle starts I start my clomid, so prayers are needed that it may only take one month to conceive! | F | 29 | 5 days | 8/10/2013 | 3 | TTC | While taking it (10days) gassy, bloated, and a huge appetite! 4 days later I have started my period!

When my dose increased I decided to start taking it about the same time as I take the regular dose. When i did get my period it slowed it down but caused me to have very very bad cramps and blotting. Plus it was suppose to lessen or stop my period and I just am having the same Except it slowed it down. I'm calling my doctor on Monday to see if I cannot get something else. But since I'm 38 and my doctor said I needed a hysterectomy, even though I haven't had children and my condition is NOT cancerous I kinda freaked out on her. She also said that it the cystic part was because of my history of diabetes. | F | 38 | 15 days 10 mg 1X day | 7/7/2013 | 5 | Polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) in | Nausea, weight loss, very heavy flow 3 weeks after first round of treatment. Cramps both like gas pains and period cramps, diarrhea, mood swings, gassy breast tenderness, lower back pain, irritability. I didn't have my period for four months after stopping birth control and ttc. Fiance and I thought I was pregnant. Found out I have pcos and have to take provera and metformin to help us conceive. Feel free to contact me if you need someone to talk to! | F | 23 | 10 days 10mg | 7/5/2013 | 1 | to shed thick uterus lining | anxiety/depression/ sore breasts/bloating/wind and this was before the most awful heavy period... constant blood flow/clotting. | It wasnt explained that I would have such a heavy prolonged period - I thought i wa going to have to go to ER. I am on my 3rd day off work. On 2nd day I literally gushed like a dam into the toilet - it was like a bloodbath - a huge splash. Have been bleeding constantly since. Its like a DIY D&C at home.... | F | 48 | 5 days 10mg 1X day | 7/4/2013 | 3 | TTC, PCOS, No period, No ovulation | Headaches over the right brow every day all day its more annoying than painful. irritability, moodiness and weight loss | TTC for 2 years now just found out i have PCOS so now trying to work with that please feel free to email me i would like to discuss this with someone who can relate | F | 21 | 12 days 10mg 1X day | 6/17/2013 | 4 | extended bleeding, hypothyroidism | Nausea, vomiting, bloating, headache, unusual sensitivity to smell, mild abdominal cramps | Took 10-day round of 10MG pills, worked great, only had a headache and felt a bit bloat-y, but nothing serious. After I finished the course, have been experiencing occasional nausea triggered by smell-sensitivity. Nausea escalated to actual vomiting after being off provera for four days, and had some broken capillaries in face from that lovely experience, but no serious damage. So far the nausea/vomiting has been the worse side-effect, and is more of an annoyance than anything else. But if it makes my cycle be normal again, I can deal. Will update once everything settles down. | F | 31 | 10 days 10 MG 1X day | 6/14/2013 | 3 | Period | Apparently, I became moody, angered easily and hubby said he hid in closet. I got hot flashes.
