| 4 | To induce period | It made me so moody!!! I felt like I was going to kill someone. Depressed, crying for no reason. Tired. Hungry. | My period did come on day 7. The pill did exactly what it is supposed to do but I won't ever go on it again. | F | 24 | 5 days 10mg 1X day | 7/9/2011 | 1 | Irregular bleeding after miscarriage | AWFUL, AWFUL experience. Truly terrible. My bleeding stopped while I was taking the drug but as soon as I stopped, I had the worst period I have ever had (And I've had some bad ones). I had to go to the ER because my blood pressure dropped and I was in so much pain. Now, over a month later, I have not been able to sleep either since the Provera. | I will never, ever, take this drug again. | F | 35 | 10 days 10 Mg 1X day | 7/8/2011 | 4 | thick uterine walls | I read many horror stories on here - so I thought I'd add one that wasn't so bad. My breasts were tender (and a little enlarged), I got dizzy a three times (rested and was fine), and most family agreed I was easily agitated (pms - like). | I am trying to get pregnant and since there seems to be no other problems, my doctor thought this could help. I am currently on my period (my doctor timed the provera perfectly and I started at my regular cycle time). My period is different - a little heavier and more cramping that usual, but nothing Tylenol doesn't t stop. Overall, nothing scary. I was initially worried about taking provera, but so far so good. | F | 33 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 7/4/2011 | 3 | No period for over two years | Mild nausea | I took this to stimulate a period. I had not had my period in several years. I had no issues when taking the med. I got my period three days after I stopped the Provera. It is the heaviest, most painful period I have ever experienced. I bled through a heavy overnight pad every hour for five days. The pain was more like contractions than cramps. It is now ten days later and, although reduced, I still have a flow heavy enough that I have to wash the bed sheets every morning, even though I have started on a new hormone now to make the bleeding stop. | F | 37 | 10 days 10 mg 1X day | 6/29/2011 | 3 | Irregular Periods | PMS and I've never had PMS symptoms before when my period used to be regular. Very nauceous | I didn't have a period for 9 months and then I had a non stop light period for 4 months.I took the pills for 10 days and had very little spotting inbetween and felt pretty good. I had a very light period the day after I was finished taking the pills and have a the heaviest period I've ever had for the last 4 days. Bleeding through a super plus playtex tampon every hour which is causing me to double it up with a pad. Hope I stop bleeding very soon. -Generic brand of provera- | F | 21 | 10 days 10 mg 1X day | 6/26/2011 | 4 | tryinq to inducde period/concieve | None yet | 2nd day, no period yet, hopefully it works, really hopinq for the 2nd baby sometime next year even thouqh newlyweds...,nd still younq i always wanted 2 which is my lucky number | F | 17 | 10 days 10 MG 1X day | 6/22/2011 | 3 | to start period | excessive burping, neck palpitations, 1 day before af, dry yellowish cm, 14 days after taking the first pill, got spotting with very sticky, very stretchy transparent cm, made my cm very very fertile, crying, anxious, nervous. | did not consume all 5 tablets. my doc told me to stop because got my period on the third tablet. i had brown spotting on the first day. 2nd,3rd and 4th were very heavy flow. 4th-7th day, very light. | F | 22 | 5 days 10 1X day | 6/21/2011 | 3 | late/no period, trying to conceive1 | Was fine the first 2 days then got worse. Can't sleep at all even though I'm extremely fatigued. Loss of patience which has made me a lil moody. I did get my period and it was horrible! I've had a miscarriage before and this was worse than that! I felt like my uterus was falling out of my vagina! | It did make me have a period like I was supposed too, but it came with a lot of other symptoms. I don't think I'll use it again. | F | 22 | 5 days 10mg 1X day | 6/16/2011 | 2 | Heavy bleeding x 5 months w/o stop | Dry mouth, nausea, diarrhea | Taking it to stop bleeding, not working. | F | 34 | 3.5 days 10mg 2X day | 6/12/2011 | 1 | Bleeding for 5 months straight | CRAMPS!!! These are the worst cramps I have ever had and let me tell you I always have cramps when I have my period.. My boobs are so TENDER! My back is killing me, and all I want to do is sleep.. I am so moody! I have 3 more days of taking this med. I hope to god when I finally get my period (not that i'm totally happy to take this med to make me start bleeding again after 5 months straight) it doesnt kill me! I'm NOT looking forward to the period that follows this med! | F | 29 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 6/12/2011 | 2 | 2 month long period | Exhaustion, painful joints, hungry. heavy bleeding, cramping, lack of concentration. | Prescribed after a visit to the ER for a period that would not stop coupled with dizziness, weakness, and confusion. It is supposed to stop the bleeding and then re-regulate my cycle? All it has done so far is make the bleeding worse, hoping this will work though. I can't take bleeding anymore! Have an appt with gyno on Wed. | F | 30 | 10 days 10 1X day | 6/11/2011 | 2 | No period for months due to stress | MOOD SWINGS, cold chills, hot flashes, dry eyes, excessive sweating, sharp pain in calves, extreme fatigue yet inability to sleep, sore breasts, pimples, dull abdominal pain, bloated, weird dreams, anxiety. | It started my period after a week (which was the purpose) but I felt awful on this hormone, like nothing was normal and everything seemed to happen... slower? For lack of a better word. Not like myself at all. I felt crazy. | F | 25 | 10 days 10 mg 1X day | 6/11/2011 | 3 | heavy bleeding and irregular period | Loss of appeitie, dry mouth, jittery, nervous.. | Update, still bleeding, and I'm getting ready to start my pill on Monday, The last time, my period was light, but never stopped, now it went to very heavy and clots...so when I take the next round on Monday, chances are, I will still be bleeding, like last month, and maybe stop bleeding half way thru, just in time to start again...I dont like haveng my period for most of the month, The Dr. says, it needs to get in my system...I will try it on Monday again. I really want normal periods, all my test came back good, they think it's pre menopause...I want to be done with it!!! | F | 48 | 10 days 10 1X day | 6/4/2011 Patient History | 1 | PCOS- no period for 6 months | hot flashes, nausea, anxiety attacks, mood swings, crying spells for no reason, sleeplessness, horrible cramps after day 8, spotting | My gyn prescribed Provera after I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Ihave always had irregular periods, but became concerned when I did not get one for 6 months. I did get my period a day after stopping the Provera. I had an extremely heavy flow and terrible, terrible cramps. It is now day 11 and I am still having a moderate flow. I was expecting that it would be bad, but it has been worse than I could imagine. The side effects were awful, and I have not felt well during my period either. I just want the bleeding to stop. I would rather have high testerone and deal with the effects of PCOS then take Provera again. The last three weeks have been the most miserable of my life. | F | 19 | 10 days 10 mg 1X day | 6/2/2011 | 3 | Period wouldn't stop | Weight gain, hungry all the time! | I started taking Provera after being on my pd for almost 5 months straight. The dr said my ul was thickened and a cyst on my ovary could be the cause of this. He prescribed me Provera 10mg for 10 days and then he said I would have a very heavy period and then be on birth control to regulate. Day 3 of the med I started cramping in my left side and couldn’t sleep from all the pain. I am in a horrible mood and its day 4. I hope this is all worth it I didn’t know it was going to be this bad! Has anyone else taken this medicine for this problem, and did it work? | F | 27 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 5/26/2011 | 1 | Regulate period | After day 2 - I decided to quit. Had dry mouth, low back pain, sudden headaches, horrible diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, tender abdomen, sore breasts, and was in bed the whole day on day two. | Would rather have NO period than feel like that again. Was on vacation out of the country at the time and there was NO way I was going to go through the rest of my vacation like that. I would have had not work either if I was at home. There has got to be a better alternative! Won't take it again! Not sure what I did to my body though - taking two than quit!? | F | 30 | 10 days 10mv 1X day | 5/22/2011 | 3 | missed period 2 months | vivid dreams, slight nausea, but with hunger!; hot flashes at night, but felt more like sunburn, no sweating; tiredness and early to bed, but interrupted sleep throughout night; achy joints; moodiness & crying initially; slight continual headache; general, mildness of not feeling well, but nothing extreme | On the last day of Rx today; period was regular at 28 day intervals before a couple of months ago, so hope to see period resume in couple of days and remain normal. | F | 47 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 5/20/2011 | 4 | PCOS, no period well over a year | Moody, easily irritated, anxious and really paranoid at times. Small persisting headache. | Side effects were easier to deal with when i was taking the pill at night before bed, thankfully they went away right after the last pill. Definitely worked for its intended purpose, period started a day after my last dose. VERY heavy period but little to no cramping. | F | 26 | 10 days 10 MG 1X day | 5/12/2011 | 4 | Anovulation, heavy 6 week period | Not many side effects, I do think I am hungrier than usual though. | This med has helped tremendously! I used to dread my period because it would last forever and be extremely heavy. I would go through a Tampax Pearl ULTRA size in 15 minutes. I was buying tampons twice a week. I finally went to the doctor, found out my hemoglobin was 7.2 and I was amazingly still upright. I now take them at the 25 day of the month for 5 days and my period comes shortly afterward and lasts only a few days. | F | 36 | 3 months 5mg 1X day | 5/10/2011 | 4 | No period for 2 years | Cramping, mood swings, dizziness, increased sex drive, insomnia, loss of sleep- tossing and turning, wierd dreams | I took the generic version of Provera, and it worked like it should have. Took it for 10 days, and my period came 2 days after stopping it, and I'm on my second day of my period. The loss of sleep was the worst side effect of this pill, everything went back to normal after I was done with the cycle... but I'm still cramping pretty bad. I'm just happy it did it's job! | F | 20 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 4/19/2011 |
