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)

 1  HRT I absolutely dislike this product. I had horrible cramps, bloat, weight gain, severe breast tenderness and felt really lousy while taking it, I just felt real irritable and grouchy. I know I have to add a progestin or progesterone to protect my uterus since I take additional estrogen in my HRT, but I absolutely detest when I have to add it and my doctor now lets me go for 3 months without adding it and my uterine lining is still fine. I also feel the same even on a natural progesterone like the Prometrium, it just doesn't agree with me. F 57 12 years
