PROVERA  (MEDROXYPROGESTERONE ACETATE):  Medroxyprogesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin). This medication is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. This medication has several uses. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, this medication is used to treat abnormal bleeding from the uterus and to restore normal menstrual periods in women who have stopped having them for several months (amenorrhea). Medroxyprogesterone is also used as part of combination hormone replacement therapy with estrogens to reduce menopause symptoms (e.g., hot flashes). Medroxyprogesterone is added to estrogen replacement therapy to reduce the risk of cancer of the uterus. This medication must not be used to test for pregnancy.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  thin lining of uterus sleeplessness, bad cramping-had to sleep with heating pad on stomach and back, bloating, overall just felt not myself Was taking this to keep lining of my uterus thin as I was scheduled to have d & c and other surgery in 3 month; I had had some very bad periods that last quite long, sounded like a good idea but not for me, I would have rather dealt with the long period.

 3  To induce period after taking clom. Moody, extremely tired, sore, gas/bloating, increased appetite, and slight depression. After taking the medication for 10 days I received my period four days later. It was a light period and lasted for 7 days, now I have been spotting for the last 6 days...I feel that my body is confused and doesn't know how to respond. F 28 1 months

 1  Secondary Amenorrhea Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, loss of appetite, weight loss, nervousness, loss of self-esteem, difficulty concentrating I have been on Provera for four months. After my last dose I had a traumatizing panic attack and have subsequently been anxious and nervous non-stop for no reason. I feel depressed and hopeless and can't concentrate. All of the anxiety has caused me to lose my appetite and a considerable amount of weight. I don't feel like myself and don't feel like I'm ever going to be the same again because the panic, anxiety and depression have taken a major blow to my confidence. I would strongly advise against this medication for anyone with a tendency towards anxiety and/or depression. F 26 4 months

 3  induce period to start clomid extremely tired all the time, VERY moody, nausea, indigestion, weight gain, cramping TTC for 1 1/2 yrs. I was on 50 of clomid for three months, the first month my LH surge came on day 16 and did IUI, didn't work. The next two cycles no surge so I am now on provera to get AF to start 150 of clomid. I am so tired and really hope this drug works, can't imagine the cramps when I do get AF as I am getting intermittent cramps now which are pretty bad. F 30 9 days

 3  missing period huge increase in appetite, had shortness of breath and dizziness second day but not any time since then. intense pains in my uterus-pulling pains. nausea i didnt have my period for 5 months, then i finally got it-but only for 2 days and barely nothing and then haven't had it since then making it about 4 months i havent had it already. always had regular period before. provera, for me, cause extreme pains in my uterus-especially the 2nd day when i wasn't expecting it. i never felt such pain before, by body was on fire and sweating. i took tylenol and eventually went away, never have i felt such pain before. i take tylenol now when ever i feel the pains coming on. im on my 6th day and 4 more days to go, hopefully my period will come back!

 2  no period for nearly 3 months I take one pill (10mg) once a day before bed ( 11pm ). Unfortunately I do not sleep for a while after. I've got constant nausea, I"m achey, I feel like I could vomit at any moment. I'm only on day 2 and felt side affects nearly immediately. I was told I would start my cycle anytime in the next 2 weeks. I'm hoping I will not need to take this medication again, it's making me feel horrible! F 21 10 days

 4  to induce a period to take Clomid While taking provera for 5 days, I didn’t notice much side effects. In fact, I only had a bit of trouble sleeping, but nothing else. (following my first comment on 2/4/2009) I finally had my period today, 15 days after my last pill of Provera. Thank God! It has been the most painful weeks of my life because of the depressive mood it got me into. I never cried that much for no reason. I am usually a happy and optimistic girl and being this sad and dark was very hard for myself. Thankfully, it is for the best and it is now the past. In 5 days, I’ll start Clomid. :) F 26 5 days
