I was bleeding so much i could not leave my house. I had been bleeding for 11 months. I had almost given up,then God sent me an angel in the form of a doctor. I was uninssurred and the specialist made me her private patient. She prescribed Provera and the side effects are nothing compaired to where i could have been. The provera is also taking care of some abnormal cells found in a biopsy. These cell can turn into cancer, so i guess it is saving my life in more than one way. God is able..... | F | 34 | 3 months 10 mg 1X day | 2/4/2012 | 2 | To induce period | Nausea, exhaustion, insomnia. 1st time taking provera (on 4th day of taking it with 6 more to go) & so far nausea has been the absolute worst side effect! | F | 30 | 4 days 10 mg | 2/4/2012 | 4 | to start periods | I feel sleepy and I am in my best mood. I am in 2nd day of my provera tab. Feeling very good. Hopefully it works | F | 37 | 5 days 10mg 1X day | 2/3/2012 | 1 | Induce Period | Was put on Provera to start my period. 10 days, and a face full of acne later I've started the period from hell- heavy bleeding, horrid cramps that have me in bed and nauseate. | F | 23 | 10 days 10 mg | 2/2/2012 | 3 | PCOS | cramping, moody, extra discharge, but no period | I have taken it before and it has helped wonderfully in the past and helped me to have my 2 sons without clomid. | F | 30 | 5 days 5 2X day | 2/1/2012 | 2 | To induce a period | Sore breasts, weight gain, swollen ankles, bloating, headaches/ neck ache, moodiness, irritability, spotting for days after finishing the dose but no period. I've used it for two months now and have had nothing but spotting each time, no actual period. Before that I was at least on a regular 60 day cycle. | F | 29 | 10 days 1 | 2/1/2012 | 4 | Absent period after tying tubes | Only side effects I had were itching on my arms and neck and breast tenderness | I started Provera 10 mg on Jan. 6th and my last dose was on Jan. 13th. I didn't have a period until Jan. 22nd. I had heavy bleeding the first 4 days and it tapered off ending on Saturday the 28th. I didn't bleed at all on Sunday, the 29th, but started light bleeding on Monday which has continued today. My breasts are sore and my lower back hurts. Has anyone else experienced anything like this on Provera? | F | 34 | 7 days 10mg 1X day | 1/31/2012 | 1 | Shred lining of uterus | Feeling VERY down, bloating, heavy painful bleeding. | Been told I will be taking provera 10mg for 30 years of my life. I call it the 'moody pill' never felt so down. Causing me stress, acne, bloating and painful periods. Anyone else have these symptons. I think I will have to request to come of these vile meds. | F | 22 | 2 years 10 1X day | 1/31/2012 | 4 | Secondary Amennorhea; PCOS | Generally speaking, I was bloated going into it and had some severe cramping - no period for a year will do it to ya. After having a bit of nausea, nothing was any worse or better throughout the course of the 10 days. I did notice that I was having bizarre dreams - but, if that's my only issue, I'm not complaining. | After one week of being off Provera, my doctors were concerned because I hadn't yet started my period. But, sure enough, that same day they called in another prescription, I started my period. Leading up to this, I've realized that there was a significant change in the amount of discharge I had. It was very watery and seemed to be coming at a constant rate. Then, before you knew it, it turned into a period. It's now day 2 of my period and it's not abnormally horrible yet. I never really had painful periods, so that's abnormal, but it's been a year without bleeding - obviously there is going to be some pain. The medicine has done what it is supposed to. I just wish I hadn't gone into it with the notion that it'd be as bad as I read on here. I think people with bad experiences tend to write more reviews because they are angry about something. | F | 19 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 1/27/2012 | 3 | To start my absent period | It is my day 2. I don't feel much except hot flashes here and there which is tolerable. I have always been moody so i dont know if this medicine is the cause of my current mood swings. I am satisfied so far. | I haven't had a period for the last 3 months. I am hoping to start soon!! So far, no side effects..I am hoping to do Yoga to eliminate cramps or other pain... | F | 23 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 1/27/2012 | 4 | To start periods | Excessive fatigue, moody, easily agiatated | This is my first time taking provera, and im usually very tolerant to any kind of medicine... but this medicine makes me so sleepy that i can barely stay awake at work!!!!! Even morphine, loritabs, etc. have no effect on me!!! This is some strong stuff and i hope it works!!!!!!! | F | 28 | 10 days 10 1X day | 1/26/2012 | 5 | I take provera if I haven't had a p | Sore breast, emotional, bloated | A great drug to get the period going. While on provera I don't spot so I take full advatage of that time. I know that 3 days after I stop, my period will start and that's a satisfying thought knowing WHEN my period will come instead of WONDERING if it ever will. | F | 32 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 1/25/2012 | 3 | To stop and regulate period | Cramping,clotting,non stop bleeding,sleepy,tired,headac,emotional,moody,and heartburn.. | F | 29 | 6 days 10mg | 1/23/2012 | 2 | Stop heavy bleeding, "reboot cycle" | Horrible continous cramping, bleeding while taking medicine and then extreme bleeding a few days after I quit around day 10 and still going. Dizziness, weird dreams, headaches, anxiety, feeling bad all away around. | I'm very upset with my doctor for not telling me exactly what this pill would do. I had become irregular and after a missed period for two months was bleeding heavily with large clots. I had pretty much stopped when I started taking this awful drug. I started to bleed again on day three then went like a waterfall when I quit. Been having my period now for over a month. Never again! Had some biopsies prior - all was fine. Will let nature take it's course from now on! | F | 45 | 14 days 10 mg 1X day | 1/22/2012 | 3 | induce menstrual cycle | fatigue, headache, loss of appetite, cramping | F | 33 | 10 days 10 mg | 1/21/2012 | 3 | annoovualtion | Itching of my upper arms and neck, bloating, cramps, irritable, tired, gas, breast sorness, vivid dreams | I am on day five and waiting to start AF so I can take Clomid days 5-9. Side effects are like extreme PMS but if it helps me get pregnant its worth it. | F | 29 | 10 days 10 mg 1X day | 1/17/2012 | 4 | no period for a year | extremly heavy bleeding, large clots, mood swings, VERY irritated, nausea, back pain, painful cramps with period but also while just taking the pill for my 10 days, mild loss of sleep, and vivid dreams | i just recently started taking provera after not having a period for a year, the doctor put me on it in fear that my uterine wall was getting very thick and i was in danger of getting cancer, i take this medicine the last 10 days of each month, at first i was thinkin ahh this isnt gonna work just another pill to take, but 6 days after my last dosage for the month i FiNALLY started i was so relieved, but now im getting concerned because i have been bleeding HEAVY for 9 days. hopefully there is a end in sight or i will be getting in touch with the doctor. as i dont like the pain or the constantly being mad this medicine deffinatly does what it is made for, and i am so glad a doctor finally listened to me that something needed to be done, and put me on this pill. | F | 21 | 1 months 10 mg 10X M | 1/12/2012 | 4 | Irregular Period/TTC | Moodiness, extremely painful cramps (once I got my period), nausea, heavy flow, vivid dreams, slight insomnia after day 3 of 5 day cycle. | I was put on Provera 5 years ago because of irregular periods so I could start birth control. I don't remember any adverse side effects then. After I came off of my pill my period was irregular again so after 9 months of no period I was prescribed Provera again for 10 days and had the WORST period of my life about 4 days after finishing the pills. It lasted a normal 6-7ish days but my cramps were extremely painful, I had very heavy bleeding, back pain, nausea, and just overall "sick" feeling. Again after 2 months of having a period, they became irregular and I have been prescribed Provera again so I can start a cycle of Clomid. Hoping this time the period isn't as bad. I'm already noticing moodiness, vivid dreams, some insomnia, and nausea - which is strange because I never experienced side effects before while on the pill. | F | 26 | 10 days 10 1X day | 1/7/2012 |
