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)

 1  Heavy Bleeding massive headaches, numbness, tingling in my right hand, down my right leg and foot, severe cramping, lower back pain, bloating I could go on and on about what I felt while taking this as I've never had a reaction to any for of Progeterone as I've been a surrogate twice without any issues to it. This was my first cycle since my 11-12-12 C-Section. I got my cycle 2-8-13 and was prescribed the generic of Provera (Medroxyprogesterone 10 MG Tablet) to take once a day for my extremely heavy cycle that I had from a C-Section. I started taking it on 2-12-13 and on 2-17-13 I started to have a numb and tinging sensation in my right hand and down my right leg and foot. I called and left a message with my OBGYN on 2-18-13 and was told by his nurse to continue taking it, I stated to her what about the numbess and tingling and was told to continue to take the medicine since my cycle was starting to lighten. I went from soaking a pad, panties and pants every two hours to about every 4 hours, that's considered lightened. By the end of the week I couldn't lift my right foot. I've had severe pain, cramping, lower back pain, right pelvic pain so when I got my cycle on 3-4-13 just as heavy I went into his office and seen him he gave me Generess Fe and Irospan 24/6 to take, I told him about the numbess, tingling and my foot and he didn't say anything. I bled for 2 months straight with spotting after that. I went to see my regular doctor when I couldn't get my OBGYN to sort what was up with my foot because I almost face planted the ground several times and didn't know what was going on with the numbing, tingling F 37 19 days

 4  no period/PCOS, trying for a baby My sleeping patterns were off... I couldnt sleep well at night and was exhausted ALL day. I found myself to be moody, but nothing different than PMS. (It was a bit odd tho, because I dont get PMS very often, prob due to the lack of hormones). I would go 4 months here, 2 months there without a period... and we are trying to conceive, so when you dont have a period, you dont ovulate. If you dont ovulate... you got it, no baby. I'm hoping this works and we get pregnant on the first month of being on Provera, although I know it may take a lotttttt longer. I have PCOS and so that makes things even tougher. If not, on to Clomid and whatever else is out there! F 29 10 days
