| 3 | Heavy periods | Mood swings, bloating, tired and headache. Felt like major PMS | Took the 10 days, very uncomfortable situation, anyhow, 3 days later received another heavy period ( which my Dr said I would). We're actually waiting till next month, which I'm not suspose to take the provera and see what kind of period I get. I'll write back to see if it jump started my hormones agains for a while | F | 44 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 4/20/2010 | 2 | Trying to Conceive | Mood swings, blurred vision. Slight cramping and bloating 5 days after finishing the dosage my doctor prescribed. | I am on Provera because I have not had a period since November of 2009 and I am trying to conceive. The doctor put me on Provera for 10 days, once a day. I stopped taking it on April 15th (my tenth day. It is now 5 days after finishing my dosage and I feel slight cramping and I also feel bloated. I did experience the mood swings and acne as described on this page. I am just hoping that I get a period soon so that I can begin Clomid cycle. My husband and I are praying to have a child. | F | 34 | 10 days 10 MG 1X day | 4/20/2010 | 1 | irregular periods | after about 6 hours of taking this medication I started vomiting uncontrolably. My eyes were burning, headache, diarrhea,severre stomach pain and general body pain. I would rather deal with the irregular periods then all of this mess. I missed a day of work and I havent misted a day of work in 4 years!!!! | DONT USE IT! NOT WORTH ALL THE SIDE EFFECTS | F | 28 | 1 days 10mg 1X day | 4/20/2010 | 3 | endometrial polyps, heavy bleeding | First 5 days I experienced massive headache and insomnia, shortness of breath, dizziness and anemia. Then, I started to have enlarged, sore breasts (very uncomfortable, like PMS throughout). | I've always had bad heavy menstrual flow with big clots. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 5 years ago, as my right ovarian cyst-10cm was removed by Laparoscopy. I had Luporon shot 3X but 3-5 years later, cyst came back, with left side also(both 4.5 cm) also discovered uterine fibroid- about 5cm. doctor also discovered a cervical polyp, which I had it removed. my biopsy resulted as endometrial polyps. my husband and I had to refrain from sex for lengthy periods of time, due to pain&continual bleeding. thank God, my doctor did not suggest another surgery but prescribed Provera. Need to be on it 3 months for 21 days. From 2nd month he wants to raise the dosage to 20 mg. scares me a little considering all the - side affects I had. But over all, it has been bearable. hope it'll be all worth it in the end. It's a miracle I'm even taking this medicine, since I was so anti-medicine. my mom has been helping me better take care of my body- proper diet and exercise. I just finish up 21 days of Provera and now anticipating my period to come out. I pray everyday also, to God, by Jesus Christ's love and His healing power, to help me heal supernaturally if He wills, and to guide me make right decisions for this undeniable medical condition that I have. Thanks for all ladies who took time to write their stories, which REALLY helped me better understand and also be able to relate to. | F | 34 | 21 days 10 mg 1X day | 4/18/2010 | 4 | No period | Horrible stomach cramping and diarrhea | I was put on the medicine because I have not had regular periods since getting off birth control in the fall. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant, so we needed to regulate my periods. I only took the medicine for 3 days because I could not handle the stomach cramps. (and I'm not talking about menstrual cramps.) I had terrible diarrhea and throughout the day and night, the pain in my stomach would cause me to double over in pain. On the third day I decided it wasn't worth it the side effects. 4 days later I started my period. Not sure if the medicine caused it or if it was something else, but either way, I was happy. | F | 26 | 3 days 10 MG 1X day | 4/17/2010 | 4 | irregular menstrual cycle | Severe bloating | F | 32 | 5 days 10mg 1X day | 4/15/2010 | 3 | To Change Period | Bloating and period like syptoms! | My husband and I are trying to have another baby, but as he works two weeks away we are on the same cycle, he is gone during my fertile days and back during my period!

I have PCOS. My husband and I are trying to conceive our first child. The Provera side effects are nothing compared to the side effects of the Clomid. My periods seem to be normal, if not shorter then in the past. I have started my period with in 4-5 days after I'm done my dosage. | F | 31 | 10 days 10 1X day | 4/9/2010 | 1 | Irregular Periods | The first three months were great, but the fourth month i took the drugs my body had a hormonal reaction and basically my body went into "labour" because it was so confused by the drugs. I ended up in hospital and had to hav a D & C (same operation you have when you miscarry) to remove the lining of my uterus because it had become so full and thick. Increadibly painful and not (yet) on the warning label as a side effect. my doctor is reporting it to the drug company so who knows it may end up on the warning label. BE CAREFUL if you decide to take this and if you get severe cramping GO TO HOSPITAL. | NOT RECOMMENDED - be very aware that introducing hormonnes to your body has just as much chance of having a bad reaction as it does having a good reaction!! | F | 23 | 4 months 30mg 1X day | 4/9/2010 | 5 | endometriosis | night sweats, slight weight gain, spotting (bleeding), greasy skin at first. | After 2 years of constant pain I' am almost pain free.

Awful cramping when I had my period, bloating, body aches. | 10 mg-Took it for 10 days as directed. On the 4th day started light flowing for 2 days. Started the next round but quit after the 7th day. I am a very laid back person but on Provera I was fine 1 minute, crying the next and wanted to punch someone the next. Started on 5mg but nothing happened on either round of 5 mg provera. Just the painful cramps and bloating. Since being on the provera I have not felt well at all. I am hoping that I start to feel better when this gets out of my system. Right now I am scheduled for a D&C. Hopefully this will take care of everything. Before all this started I felt great. | F | 54 | 10 days 10mg 1X day | 3/31/2010 | 4 | Stop Heavy Bleeding | Breast Tenderness, Extreme Bloating | I took Provera for 10 Days, 10Mg to stop heavy bleeding (My period lasted about 18 days last month!!!).
