| 5 | pro vera save my life from heavy bleeding | So far no side effect | F | 48 | 10 days 10 mg | 1/6/2012 | 4 | i am currently taking provera jan3 | I have been taking provera for five days now. My side effects are headaces everyday, cramping, severe dizziness, very sleepy, tired, mood swings, and hot flashes. When I wake up in the morning, all I feel like doing is throwing up. I'm trying to conceive and if I don't get pregnant off provera then I have to take clomid....I wish everyone the best!!! | F | 22 | 10 days 10 | 1/3/2012 | 2 | Loss of mensus, polycistic overy | SEVERE abdominal pain that required an e.r. Visit. Nausea vomiting EXTREME bleeding with large clots. Loss of sleep and Major mood swings, crying uncontrollably for hours at a time. | F | 14 | 10 days 10mg | 1/3/2012 | 5 | I had polycystic overy | F | 24 | 1 days 10mg | 12/30/2011 | 3 | No period for 4 months | Sore breasts, esxhausted, nausea, abdominal pain, headaches, mood swings, depression | I took provera in January for the first time and had my period 4 days after finishing my treatment; to get on the pill. Last September I did not took my pills so I didn't have a period and had to get back on Provera to get a period and start my anticonceptive pills again. It's been 10 days after my last Provera and no period. I feel awful... | F | 26 | 10 days 10 MG 1X day | 12/21/2011 | 3 | To have a period (menstruation) | 2nd day and 3rd day: Horrible Irritation. I am not the kind of person to just be mad for no reason. But the only way I can describe this is a constant PMS for 2 days. I was irritated at everything and everyone I couldn't control it. I was pretty sleepy taking it for some reason so I took my pill at night since I thought it was making me drowsy during the day. | My doctor was worried that I do not have periods. I told her I couldn't tell you the last time I had a really good period. She was worried about Cancer and told me I needed to have a period every 3 months. I am suppose to take Provera every other month to make sure I start having a regular cycle. The drug does work, but be ready for some side effects. Explain to your family what you might experience before taking it. I told them what the doc told me about the mood swings before I took it so whenever I was out of control they would look at me and say "the pill" and I would stop being stupid. I hope this review helps. | F | 29 | 14 days 10mg 1X day | 12/18/2011 | 1 | to induce my period - I have pcos | I have/had extreme nausea and vomiting for going on 4 days. I also had mild back pain and energy loss. I thought I had a stomach virus until I read the side effects for this medicine. | Nausea became so bad I did not take my last dose of medication. | F | 27 | 7 days 1X day | 12/16/2011 | 3 | PROLONGED PERIOD | Loss of appetite, insomnia, anxiety attacks, hair loss, acne, night sweats and low back pain. | Worked to stop prolonged period within 3 days but then withdraw period was horrible with clots and heavy bleeding when stopped. Doctor wanted to put me on it again. Not after all the side effects, lost 7 pounds and felt awful. | F | 42 | 10 days 10 MG 1X day | 12/15/2011 | 4 | to induce a period have pcos | moodiness, cramping and brown spotting on the 4th day of tablet | so far the tablet is working in spite of the unusual cramps i have been getting and hope after this my period regulates | F | 31 | 7 days 10 mg 2X day | 12/14/2011 | 4 | PCOS | I have PCOS so I have irregular periods. I had a fake period with constant slow bleeding that didn't finish for over 2 weeks. After taking Provera for 10 days, I got a real period 2 days after I finished the 10 day supply. It has been one of my most severe periods in years. The blood flow is excessive and very chunky. The pain is incredible. The scary part is that I wouldn't even call it heavy bleeding but loosing buckets of blood or hemorrhaging. I have been extremely sleepy, irritable, and hungry. If the bleeding doesn't stop after the weekend, I will call my Dr. For now, I have been changing about a pad every 30 minutes 24 hours a day and losing sleep. I wear DEPENDS grandma underwear in addition to pads at night for extra protection. | It gets the job done by stopping a previous period and then bringing on a real period. For women with PCOS we have periods that occur without ovulation so Provera helps bring on a "real" period. | F | 34 | 10 days 10MG 1X day | 12/9/2011 | 4 | PCOS/To induce period before Clomid | Weight Gain, Moody, IRRITABLE, tired | This is my 2nd time taking Provera. While this medicine works for me, I do not like it. I am irritable and moody. I cry at the drop of a hat. I've gained weight, about 7/8 lbs in the last 3 months taking this and clomid. I got my period last month on my own, so I didn't have to take provera. Had an abnormally shaped cyst in my left ovary this month, so Dr. put me on provera and will do an ultrasound before clomid to make sure cyst is gone. | F | 32 | 10 days 10 MG 1X day | 12/6/2011 | 4 | Absent period/ PCOS/ Fertility | mild abdominal pain, sore breasts, headache, left ovary pain | I have taken Provera before to bring on a period but as of right now my dr is having me take it to get pregnant ready before I start taking Clomid. :) | F | 24 | 10 days 10 MG 1X day | 12/3/2011 | 3 | no period for over a year | Hair growth,increased appetite and sleepyness. My period came about two weeks after I finished the pill, lasted for about seven days. The flow was moderate not much cramping. In all it wasn't that bad. It's been about two months now and I haven't seen my period since the last time so I think I might have to go back to my doc to go back on the pill. | F | 23 | 10 days 10 | 11/26/2011 | 4 | heavy long periods, clotting, | Tiredness, depression, anxiety. | stopped me from having a period for 2.5 months. Had a period while I was taking it. then after i stopped taking it i never got a period for just over 2 months. now i started taking it again because my period is so heavy i don't want to become anemic again. The reason I stopped taking it was the depression. | F | 51 | 3 months 10mg 1X day | 11/24/2011 | 4 | Induce absent period | Insomnia the first 2 nights, hardened breasts but no pain, slight weight gain. | The insomnia wasn't that bad because I still *felt* like I got enough sleep. I just wasn't tired. Besides that, any other symptoms really weren't that annoying. Withdrawal bleeding occurred 6 days after last dose, was somewhat heavy and lasted 7 days. Now (about a week and a half after bleeding subsided), I have bleeding again with many clots. I would still recommend Provera to women trying to induce an absent period because it is doing what it is designed to do; to force the uterine lining to shed. I expected side effects and after effects so, like any other medication, take Provera with caution. I believe the benefits strongly outweighed the side effects. | F | 25 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 11/23/2011 | 5 | To stop heavy bleeding | Sore enlarged breasts | provera works like a charm, so bad side effects. i only noticed extremly swollen sore breasts. but asidefrom that, no effects, and worked great! bleeding stopped completely in about 36 hrs from the start of the pill. | F | 41 | 10 days 30 MG 1X day | 11/15/2011 | 3 | To start my period | Extremely moody, very easily provoked. Constant tiredness, achy joints, extreme hunger, constant headache, cramps that come and go. | I have taken Provera on multiple occasions always with the same side effects and usually followed by extremely heavy bleeding...only this time after taking it for ten days I still have not started and I took my last pill seventeen days ago...side effects started on day four of taking the pills and have not stopped and seem to be getting worse. | F | 31 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 11/8/2011 | 5 | To make me have a period. | I have some mood swing, breast sore before my period comes on, and I be hungry a lot. | I haven't even taking the med for this month and my period came on by itself, but I am bleeding heavy. | F | 29 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 11/7/2011 | 5 | no periods | NONE!!! DRUG ACTUALLY IMPROVED EVERYTHING ABOUT ME!!! | Dr. prescribed this to me because I never have periods on my own. I have to take these every month until I get regular periods. Before Provera I was mad all the time, couldn't stop eating, depressed, nauseous, headaches, ect. BUT now that I've taken Provera I'm happy for those 10 days, I actually lose a little weight from not eating us out of house and home, and I actually want to go and do things instead of being depressed!! I | F | 26 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 10/27/2011 | 3 | No period for 4 months | Mood swings, agitated, sore breast, no interest in sex and vivid dreams. | I took the last dose on Oct 21st and no period yet. But if it does help bring it back i guess it overways the side effects. | F | 27 | 10 days 10 mg 1X day | 10/26/2011 |
