Intermittent nausea some afternoons. GREAT DECREASE IN APPETITE - but water retention in feet, ankles, abdomen. | My greatest fear was nausea and edema/weight gain. Fortunately, it worked out pretty well. I was on a 5mg dose for 10 days. HOWEVER, I started spotting and bleeding on day 8 of the provera, which scared me since that wasn't supposed to happen. I called my clinic and the doctor told me to continue the last two pills. I was told to consider that as the beginning of my withdrawl bleed. It is day 6 since I started spotting (bleeding) and tomorrow will mark one week, which means, I "should" stop bleeding tomorrow, if it's like a regular period. I lost a pound or two, but I probably would have lost more weight if I wasn't retaining water. It's very important to drink a LOT of fresh water while taking this if you want to keep appetite worries in check.

I have 2 days left and the cramping is much more sever now. I've started to slightly spot so I'm sure that once I am through with my last pills I should start my cycle.

On my second month now. This is to try and regluate my period. I'm concerned about how this is making me feel I would rather not have a period at all or have a month long period than feel the way I do. Waiting to go back and see the Gynaecologist who prescribed this. I'm also waiting to have a demoid cyst removed from one of my ovaries. | F | 41 | 21 days | 7/28/2008 | 4 | to induce period/to begin clomid | I have really bad mood swings, headaches, tired all the time,and some bloating... | I take 10mg of Provara once a day for ten days.

Trouble falling asleep at night; Which made it terrible to wake up in the morning. Also, it was hard to fall asleep b/c I could hear my own heartbeat which is really weird. Towards the last few days (day 8,9,10 and lasting 2wks after)- major dizziness/fainting...Which landed me in the ER (I didn't associate the fainting with the med until I went into my 2nd cycle of taking it). | F | 29 | 10 days | 7/24/2008 | 3 | Amenorrhea from Anorexia | Stomach pains after dose 1 only. I used a heat pad and went to bed and woke up just fine. I am not finished my 10 days with the Provera, but I'm on day 4 with no HORRIBLE side effects. I feel a little bloated, but I'm always bloated from gastrointestinal problems. I get slightly dizzy, but that could be because of the heat. I am, however, quite nauseous at random times during the afternoon. It's nothing that I can't handle, but it's a little uncomfortable. If you take it with a cracker or two, you should be just fine...Most importantly, I have experienced NO significant weight gain! The provera has completely KILLED my appetite and I even want to think about food. | I know I am a recovered anorexic, but I assume people are going to want to be as careful as I am about WEIGHT GAIN/LOSS. My appetite is completely dead during the day since I started the Hormone replacement therapy. I have a cup of Special K cereal in the morning, and then water or tea for the rest of the day. I don't think I'm significantly bloated, I just feel a little heavier from some minor fluid retention that goes away after lying down at night. My weight has stayed relatively constant since the day before beginning the Provera, although I feel fatter from the bloating and water retention. When I am done the 10 days on provera, I assume that I will lose the water weight and added extra bloat IF my period even starts. My doctor said there is a chance that it may not be induced because of my previous health condition - I'm praying things go okay. I am scheduled to start Yaz birth control pills immediately after seeing any blood so that I can maintain my hormone levels.

They were either very early, or very late, and only lasted for about 2 days at most. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and the ob-gyn said that I should take the Provera for 10 days and on day 13, I should start a period. It didn't happen. On day 17, I called the doctor, and he said to take it again for 10 more days. It has been 15 days since I went off the Provera, and still no period. I will not be going back on the Provera, instead will see a specialist at the end of this month. | F | 27 | 20 days | 7/11/2008 | 4 | no period for 7 months | mood swings, bloating, tired all the time, did I say mood swings | F | 26 | 14 days | 7/9/2008 | 3 | induce periods | just started taking medication yesterday, none yet | I am taking Provera to induce my period in hopes of getting pregnant. My Dr. only perscribed on round of 10mg for 10 days.

Worked the first time around...then no spontaneous period month #2. Back on Provera for 2 months to see if the lining will shed and thin.
