| 4 | PCOS-Trying to conceive | So far this is my first day taking Provera. As for side effects so far just dry mouth and felt my heart pacing but didn't last long. | I'm really looking forward to completing this medication. I hope and pray that I can conceive as I'm REALLY wanting a baby. After completing this I hope to start Clomid asap. I do agree however that reading some of the side effect comments on this page scared me. So far so good and I'll keep you posted! = ) | F | 35 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 10/18/2010 | 3 | No periods for years -PCOS | I am one who is VERY sensitive to medicine! VERY! I had Hot flashes and had a lil trouble sleeping. I had HORRIBLE PMS but all this was something I can live with. None of it was really terrible. | I took 10mg 1x a day for 10 days. After day 4 of stopping I got my period. At nite! It is VERY heavy at times, cramping is bad. I am now on day 4 of my period and the flow is really irregular. It gets lite and I think it is stopping but then gets VERY heavy again. All in all its not that bad so far. | F | 31 | 10 days 1X day | 10/18/2010 | 4 | TTC | back and stomach cramps, MOOD SWINGS, werid dreams, slight insomnia and acne | I was taking provera to start my period that I havent had in like 3 months (i have very irregular periods) because my husband and i are trying to concieve. The dr. put me on provera to start my period so she could do hormone labs and a hsg scan (run dye thru my fallopan tubes) and then next month start clomid. Overall, it wasn't that bad. The side effects are bearable.. But the only thing that Im not liking to much is the heavy heavy bleeding im on day 9 of my period and theres no sign of it stopping. But im assuming its bc im sheding all the old uterus lining thats been backed up from missed periods. But I would recommend it to any one its definately worth it I think.. | F | 20 | 5 days 10 MG 2X day | 10/15/2010 | 3 | jump start period | Horrible gas, constantly hungry even though I would try to drink as much water as possible, extremely tired during the day and insomniac at night, nightmares, mean and moody, my husband noticed my mood changes before I did, extremely depressed. Using Provera before I start Clomid. Hopefully I won't have to take this again;) | F | 32 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 10/14/2010 | 2 | acne, back pains, stomach cramps, insomnia, my breast began to lactate( i am not nor have i ever been pregnant), weight gain | I was given a high dose for 2 weeks to try and jump start my period, it did not work for me and i have bad side effects | F | 21 | 1X day | 10/3/2010 | 2 | Heavy Periods/Flooding/Firbroid | Early and longer periods, headaches | The Doctor told me that the Provera would hopefully lighten my periods and shrink my fibroid. I have been on oral Provera for four months now and it has lightened my period even though I had a day of flooding this week. After the flooding incident, my doctor wanted to see me. She said that the Provera isn't working, so my other alternatives were ablation or hysterectomy. She gave me another month's prescription of Provera until my next procedure, but I will not take another Provera pill, as it made my breasts very tender two weeks after my last period and brought on my current period 10 days early and I'm going on day 9 of bleeding. Before Provera, I bled for 4-5 days and flooded off and on during that time, so I'm going back to abby normal. I Think Alice Cooper wrote "Only Women Bleed" for me. Ugggghhhhh!!! | F | 49 | 4 months 10 1X day | 10/3/2010 | 3 | irregular periods | Bad dreams, bloating, gassy, sick to my stomach and EMOTIONAL! | I have been having 15+ day periods since February wit a week to two between.

(I was taking my pills at night wit dinner) I am now going onto day 3 after my last pill and have only spotted once. I am EXTREMELY BLOATED!!! Its very uncomfortable.

I took my last dose last Sunday Sept 19th and on Monday I woke up in a flood. It has been non-stop since, missing work, running to the bathroom every 10-15 mins.
