User Reviews for Medroxyprogesterone

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I had abnormal uterine bleeding and I didn't know why. I started passing clots & was bleeding irregularly. I thought, at first, that I was having a miscarriage. I went to my GYN. She prescribed Provera 10mg once a day for 10 days. I just finished my prescription & the only problem that I'm having now is sensitive breast. Other than that, my bleeding has completely stopped.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Amenorrhea: I took Provera about two years ago for 10 days and it worked great for me. I also had to take Clomid on day 5-9 of my cycle and got pregnant on my third cycle. They both worked amazingly. I am now going to try again hoping to have the same luck.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I am a 51 year old female. In January 2008 I had a light period that lasted for 4 days and then stopped. Five days later I started bleeding again. I had such a heavy flow with clotting that I had to change every 2 hours. After the 14th day, I began to get very weak. My mother convinced me that this was not normal and to see a gynecologist. On day 16 of this heavy bleeding I went to the gynecologist. She told me I was going through menopause and prescribed Provera. On the next day, I was to take 20mg for 10 days. After 2 days, I stopped bleeding. On day 12 my doctor told me I needed to do this for the next 3 months and each month would get better and it would help me through menopause. I do not feel good at all when I take the Provera.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Amenorrhea: Medication works by inducing a period. After taking this medicine I had to take clomid and I conceived on my 4th round of medication. It works. Be patient and good things will come. I am now trying again to conceive and yes I am taking provera again and I just started my 1st round of clomid.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I have not had a period from the first shot. I had ZERO side effects and lost 5 lbs. I think it is an amazing product.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I am 47 and this is my second time on Provera. The only side effects I have noticed are intense night sweats. I am hotter than usual. The day after my first dose, I was nauseous and had a headache like a hangover, it has happened a few other times during the 10 days. I do think, that I can live with 10 days a month of the Provera because I was bleeding a lot. I was stuck at home. At least now, even if I don't feel good I can still leave home.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Amenorrhea: I took Provera for 10 days as per doctor's order to induce a period. On the 11th day I had a period. The medication works alright. I didn't experience any side effects.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Birth Control: I had nothing but negative effects from the Depo shot that are continuing even after the duration of action of the Depo. I am now experiencing terrible migraines (I rarely, if ever had even minor headaches). They have been occurring multiple times per day including nausea and diarrhea. I experienced these same symptoms for the first time after I received my first shot. I also experienced neck stiffness, severe mood swings, bouts of depression that seemed to arrive from nowhere, no sex drive what so ever, and worst of all menstrual bleeding for an entire month straight which was only counteracted by a high dosage of birth control pills.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Birth Control: It started off great, for the first month. But then by the second month, my period became a monster. It lasted for so long and started on a very random day that wasn't even close to my regular period cycle date. Also, I'm on an emotional roller coaster ride and almost constantly angry at something or someone. I don't like this at all.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Endometriosis: I was very unhappy on this drug. My pain was not reduced as it should have been. I spotted for the entire 6 months I was on it. I was extremely depressed, had no libido whatsoever and gained 20 pounds. This did not work well for me for this condition at all. Unfortunately once it is in your system you are stuck with it. It took a full year for my body to readjust once I was off it and to stop spotting. It was also hard to lose that weight afterwards.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone): I have been on Depo for 18 years and until just recently would have rated it a 10. I have never had a period or any other complications that I knew about. I have always taken calcium along with a multivitamin. Why the 1? Because while sick with bronchitis I fractured 2 ribs, coughing and I am only 32. Come to find out, my doctor has attributed it to the Depo. My advise, make sure to talk to your doctor about a bone density test.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Amenorrhea: Stopped getting my period so I took this and it worked right away. It didn't bring back my monthly cycle but it brought on a cycle after the last pill.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Birth Control: I have been on Depo Provera for about 8 years and I've loved it. I haven't had any cramps but I do spot for a couple weeks before my shot is due. I never gained weight, although I should note that I have a very high metabolism. However, my doctor recently had me do a bone density test and the results were not good. I'm 25 and my bone density levels were very close to those with osteoporosis. Studies show this is reversible once you are off the shot, however, the studies are not clear about the long term effects. So, unfortunately, my doctor no longer wants me on the shot and I am currently looking into another form of birth control.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Birth Control: I am 29 years old and I have had 3 jabs of the depo in the last year and a bit, MY PRO'S: No period pain every month. No babies ( three is enough for us ). No worries about tampons etc. My CONS: headaches alot, Mood swings - am a little depressed and snappy at the kids, I don't want to get intimate with my poor husband at all, and my face is covered in acne (not really, but for me YES). I have gained weight!! (5kg) I was supposed to have my next jab in June this year and I didn't go for it and I still don't have my period 5 months later!!! I think for me personally, It is no good.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Birth Control: After 2 years on Depo-Provera I decided to stop because I was concerned about not having my periods. My period didn't come back to normal until after 7 months, during this time off Depo I realized that suddenly my mood had improved and I wasn't sad all the time anymore. I switched to Alesse and now realize how bad Depo was for me. It made me moody all the time.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Multiple cervical polyps: I have been taking this medication for 3 months, for 14 days each month. Side effects include increased hunger (actually I am pleased about this as I am rarely hungry and don't really enjoy food). I have read that it can cause depression, but for me it is the opposite. I am far less depressed and have more energy and feel less overwhelmed. The effects only last for the 2 weeks that I am taking it each month. My body seems to love this medicine. It is too soon to ascertain whether my polyps have shrunk/disappeared. I am going to be re-tested in three months. If it hasn't worked then I am going to try the Mirena coil.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Birth Control: Been on the Depo for 3 1/2 years now. No periods. Terrible weight gain. Mood changes. I'm looking to get off of it.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Worked just like the Dr. said. I had been bleeding for 5 months without stopping. Took Provera for 2 weeks, and then started bleeding very heavily. Bled for almost 2 more weeks, and have now completely stopped bleeding. Just started taking Provera again for 2nd month. It makes me a little sleepy and dizzy, but it is well worth it to get my bleeding regulated!

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I have used Depo for years for Birth Control and to help with other uterine issues (heavy bleeding, etc). I have never had side effects and it's wonderful..no periods! Talk about convenient. I'll never switch.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Birth Control: I have used Depo-Provera since I was 16. It started to control my period as it was irregular, and ended up years later as birth control. I have never had a period since my first injection, also never had any side effects. This is an awesome idea for someone who is irregular or just hates that time of the month. The only bad side to this medicine is I have lost a lot of bone density in the 8 years I have used it. My advice is take lots of calcium while using this drug. Other then that it's great and I have recommended it to others in my years of using it and will continue to.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Endometriosis: Depo has been great for relief of pain from endometriosis. I am on my 3rd shot. No more period, but I do spot the whole month before the next shot is due. I am hoping that will stop as my body gets used to it more. The shot is painless, the only side effect I have noticed is minor weight gain and my sex drive has decreased a bit. I am okay with that at least the pain is gone. I got scared reading what everyone had to say about this drug and almost didn't get it. I am glad I took the chance to see how "I" reacted to it. Everyone is different. I am very satisfied with it.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Birth Control: I became pregnant with twins, as I was not informed to refrain from sexual activity for 2 weeks.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Amenorrhea: I am 24 years old and on my 8th day of taking the pill. I cannot wait until it is over. I was ordered to take the pill because I want to see why I wasn't having a period which was abnormal for me. I haven't had a period in four months though I was always regular. The doctor said there was no harm in me not having a period and that is was probably caused by the birth control shot I had three years before but I should take the pills just to see what happens. The pills seem to have made my PMS worse. That includes menstrual cramps, cravings, fatigue, and moodiness. They were more horrible when I first started the pill and have calmed down a little now but the symptoms are still there.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I was having severe bleeding with large clots which lasted for 3 weeks. Finally saw the Doctor and he gave me 10mg for 10 days. This is day 9. I stopped bleeding 2 days ago. I love this medicine, really. I'm hungry more often, but that's okay. Unsure what will happen when I stop taking it.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for Endometriosis: I have exceptionally painful periods due to endometriosis and so far, Depo is the only thing that has eliminated all of my pain, along with my periods. I had previously been on it for 7 years, then stopped after my doctor suggested it was time for a break. I did a bone density study & had lost no bone density, which was a big concern. After about a year of pain, I just went back on it this month. I will be getting a hysterectomy within the next couple of years & then I will be off the Depo. No complaints here.
