User Reviews for Medroxyprogesterone

Provera (medroxyprogesterone): 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.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone): 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): 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): 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.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone): 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.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone): 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.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone): 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!

Provera (medroxyprogesterone): 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): Using the product has really improved my quality of life. I can once again be the active person I meant to be without the constant worry and inconvenience.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone): I have been bleeding for six months now! I was on the Depo for three years then, I went off of it. I am 35lb heavier and my eating habits and work outs never changed. I felt horrible all the time, headaches, back pain. As birth control it sure works great.

medroxyprogesterone: I am taking this medicine so my period can come. It's the second month I am taking it. It worked just fine in the first time.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone): I started taking Provera January 7th because I had 3 different periods in the month of December, regular (change every 2-3 hrs), to light (barely noticed it (changed every 4-5 hrs), to extremely heavy with huge clots (literally changed everytime I stood up because there would be a gush of blood). I was told to take it for about 2 weeks and that I would have a period afterwards. I stopped bleeding but I got my period a couple of days before the 2 weeks were up. The side effects I've had are nausea (seriously sick to my stomach, the mere thought of food almost made me regurgitate), and my body was extremely sore and it made me tired. I still have pills and honestly not sure if I should still be taking it but I guess the pills work.

medroxyprogesterone: It helps to regulate my menstrual cycle that lasts approximately 1 to 2 months straight, with huge blood clots.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone): I was on Depo for about 6 months and started having a period for months on end. I'm also a kidney failure patient so that doesn't help things. But everyone I talk to says they have a period for a long time.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone): 31 years old, have been on Depo-Provera for about 3 years now due to terrible, awful debilitating periods - the kind that made it hard for me to go to work. I did get spotting the first few months but after that it was FREEDOM. No periods whatsoever. I didn't have any weight gain - still around 100lbs and no other problems. I'm going to get NovaSure soon because I don't want to have to bother going to the pharmacy every three months and I'm worried about the whole bone density thing - although my doctor said she was on Depo for 8 years without any problems. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a long-term but temporary way to get rid of periods. Don't suffer.

Provera (medroxyprogesterone): I am 22 and I had my period for 5 weeks straight so I went to the doctor and they told me I lost so much blood I had to get a blood transfusion then they put me on Provera 10mg 3 x a day for 2 months. At first it stopped the bleeding for a month but then the Provera stopped working so my Dr. switched me on birth control and that doesn't work either. I've been bleeding for a month now. I don't know what to do.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone): I first started Depo-Provera due to irregular and heavy menstruation. The first month was the worst, with several side effects that did go away after the second shot. I had severe breast tenderness, with some lymph node swelling, mood swings, and constant spotting for the first month. After the inital shot, I never had a period again, barely any spotting, and felt well. I did go off the shot for a while and now I am on it again. I am having no side effects except for the initial moodiness and decrease interest in sex. But I would still recommend this product for someone! No periods - Sign me up.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone): I gained a few pounds on the Depo shot but that wasn't too bad. Was on it for 2 years. The first 1 1/2 years were great, although I had a decreased sex drive and the shots left my arm sore for days. Had about 1 week long period just before getting the next shot, so about every 3 months. Bled almost constantly the last 6 months.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone): The first three months went alright- I was quite moody and emotional, but nothing more than how I am when I get PMS. It was bearable and didn't last too long. I had one period for two weeks. After taking the second shot, I have had a period for over a month and a half now (an actual heavy period, not spotting). My acne has gotten worse. I'm definitely switching to the pill when I am ready to get my next shot.

medroxyprogesterone: I got my first shot 6 weeks after delivery. I didn't have a period for a while but when I did come on I bled non stop. I am still bleeding today which will make it 15 days. Although my bleeding has been light I am still adapting to being on my period everyday. I was told that I could bleed for up to 3 months. I am just ready for this to be done and over with. But on the pro side...my cramps have lessened which is a good thing considering I usually have a hard time when it's that time of the month.

medroxyprogesterone: I am 24 years old and I have had 4 blood transfusions since I was 18 and no doctor could figure out why I kept bleeding so much on my monthly (which would last 3 weeks at a time) So on my 4th blood transfusion I finally saw a doctor who wanted to help figure out what was going on with me, after some tests and a D & C he put me on medroxyprogesterone tablets once a day to control my bleeding. I have been on it for a few days now and I am hoping that it helps my situation, it seems that my only problem is that I have a really bad hormone imbalance and I have tried birth control in the past that really didn't work to help my situation. As for this medication I hope that one day I can live a normal life and someday have kids.

Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone): I have been on the Depo shot for 14 years, and it was a lifesaver for me. My doctor put me on it because I had PMS so bad, I could not live a normal life. I have never had another period and no side effects. I have not had a bone density test but would like to do so. I just recently read that 2 years was all you should stay on it, I didn't know that before and was not told that by my doctor. I think it's great.
