"My cycle have been on for over 3 months so I went to the doctor. She prescribed provera. The first day after starting the medication I cramped (I'm not a cramper). The cramps stopped but the bleeding never did. About two weeks on the pill, I started bleeding really heavy and passing too many clots then I came research. I wouldn't recommend this drug to anyone."

"I went to the ob because I had been bleeding for 6 months straight. Ultrasound showed nothing no fibroids nada. So they gave me Provera and I have been on it for 5 days and not a thing has happened I feel like I am on groundhog day. I want this nightmare to stop I just can't take this I have no life and I have lost so much weight it is not funny no matter how much I eat."

"I have abnormal Uterine bleeding and after bleeding for 2 months straight I was given provera 2x before It actually worked. On top of it all it took almost 5 days to fully stop my bleeding. Thank god I stopped bleeding, but I still have cramps. It’s been exactly 17 days that I have not bleed. But now I’m wondering my pills are almost done. What going to happen to me? Am I going to start bleeding heavy again? Is it going to never stop again? I’m so afraid of what will happen when I’m done with provera. Ugh!!!"

"Provera has been a wonder drug for me. I have been taking it for about 4 years now. I have no more periods. They were so bad after I had my son 15 years ago. I couldn't function. This drug has been great for me. I will continue to take it as long as I can."

"My experience with Provera has been a very painful situation. I am 26 and was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome at the age of 22. I never had regular periods since the age of 15. I was always on some form of birth control to regulate. I was taking the Depo-Povera shot (depo shot) for about 6 months before I decided to get off due to the excessive weight gain. The Nurse Practitioner weaned me off of the shot and decided to give me the Micronor birth control pills which did not help as well. I have been on my cycle for 2.5. months. I can ot afford insurance,the only thing I could do was to go to the emergency room. I seen the ER dr there where she gave me the Provera 10mg four times a day. My bleeding has gotten heavier."

"I am 31 yrs old. Since the birth of my first child, I've had very heavy, painful periods. Often irregular as in a couple times a month. But I have been bleeding for almost 5 months now. Three months ago, I was put on Provera 10 mg once a day. It lightened my bleeding after a few days, then I had brown discharge for a few days. But I started bleeding again even while taking the Provera. I first had a 10 day supply, then a 30 day supply, another 2 weeks, and now 2 more. But it has changed nothing. I'm bleeding and cramping nonstop and still have no answers. No fibroids, polyps, or cysts."

"I am 56 years old, I have not had a period in 10 years. Last month I started again. Extremely heavy flow for 2 weeks. Had a vaginal ultrasound and found no signs of cancer. Yesterday I started again, today I started taking provera. I am hoping it stops the bleeding. Heavy bleeding, cramps (front and lower back) and clots."

"This is my 3rd time taking this medication provera for problem bleeding. The first time it worked like for 4 days. After the 4th day I couldn’t stop bleeding had to go back to ER. I was put on provera again. This time it didn’t work at all . Actually when I took the last pill the next day I couldn’t stop bleeding. I had clots the size of grapefruits . I was so lightheaded I went to ER and I needed a blood transfusion. I was put on Provera again for the third time . See how they work for me this time . On my 3rd day taking them . I guess they work different on everyone."

"Age 50. Provera was the worst for me. Heavy non stop bleeding for a month. Took megace. Per doc waited a week. Now on provera. Provera caused the following . Anxiety. My blood pressure went up. Cramping. Huge bloating. Ovarian cyst rupture. Into my second round of 10mg for 10 days. Hate it. I am going back to ask for birth control pills. Anything to right my cycle that doesn't make me crazy."

"I took provera 10mg pills the beginning of August month for 10 days. Like 3 days laters I started spotting. 4 days later the spotting got a little heavy with clots but never the regular flow of the menstruation cycle. Long story short, I been bleeding lightly for the past two week and I’m beyond annoyed. "

"I went almost 3 months without a period. I should've known I was in for trouble but I just let it slide until the day I started my period. I bled for 5 weeks non stop. It was very heavy with lots of large clots. I went to the ER eventually and the Dr prescribed me provera 10 mg for 10 days. It was awesome for 10 days almost no bleeding just spotting here and there. I came off of provera and 2 days later I'm bleeding 10 times worse and a lot more clots then I was before taking the drug. Somethings got to give I just want to be able to be normal again!"

"I had a miscarriage at 14 weeks. I bled after that for 2 weeks and then stopped bleeding for 4 weeks. I then got my first period which started out very light then 5 days later I was bleeding so heavily and passing very large clots that I ended up going to the ER. They decided to do a D and C to stop the heavy bleeding, but I bled just as heavily after the D and C. So, after several trips to the ER, they gave me Provera. After taking one pill my bleeding became very light and stayed that way the last for the last 2 days. Today, however, I did a short rowing workout (the first time I've exercised in 2 weeks) and the bleeding seemed to pick up a little bit and a pretty big clot came out (I'm not sure if it was from before when I was bleeding heavily and it just worked its way out). I was wondering if the bleeding got worse for anyone else after exercise?"

"I am 20 years old, I got prescribed provera(10mg) one pill a day for 10 days. I began my period on June 28 and it’s now September 16, 2019. I’ve been to 3 doctors, the 1st gave me birth control it was the Enskyce brand and I was on it for 3 weeks. I started this birth control hoping it would make my period stop but it didn’t. Then I went for a 2nd opinion, and I went to a different doctor and she sent me to get blood work and a pelvic ultrasound. Everything came out fine. I was still not satisfied so I went to a 3rd doctor, she was the one who gave me provera. She was a midwife doctor and she went over my lab results and sent me to get extra lab work done which she tested prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone and testosterone levels. Those results came out fine and she said that being on provera was the last thing she could think of to stop my bleeding. My period didn’t stop until the 7th day of taking it. After stopping the pill my period began two days after."

"Just turned 40. Never had issues with my cycle. This time around I had a huge gap between periods, my period came on day 67! And it has lasted 35 days and is still going strong. Had blood work, pap, and an internal vaginal ultrasound, all 100% normal. Started Medroxyprogesterone. Was told to take 10mg twice a day until bleeding stopped. It’s now been 15 days and still no sign of stopping. The first few days, it slowed down but then went back to a heavy flow. I’m going in for a D&C in the next week. I’m just so confused as to why this drug has worked to stop everyone else’s bleeding but not mine."

"I was bleeding for a 2 months straight. My first time with an abnormal period. Ultrasound showed 2 cysts on left ovaries. I took provera which stopped my bleeding after two days. The stomach cramps became so severe that one day I took 1/2 the dose 5mg instead of 10mg. I spotted the day after so immediately started taking the 10mg again. The bleeding is heavy now. I’ve been bleeding for a week. I regret taking half a dose. I see the doctor again later this month. I just want a regular cycle again!"

"First time I took Provera it worked great for 3-4 years and made me regular. I had gone to the ER for heavy bleeding and clotting. 2nd time I went to the ER was earlier this year (2015) for same reason. Provera slowed it down, passed clots and then I spotted here and there. Just recently, mid July, I started having heavy bleeding again and the docs couldn't give me answers as to why but put me on Provera again. Didn't do anything this time. It slowed it down on Day1-Day3 on it and then after and especially when I finished Provera I was bleeding very heavily. The doc said that's to be expected and have to wait it out, and just wait for my ultrasound. I'm so sick of all this bleeding and even more so not getting any answers/treatment."

"After four months with no period I went to the doctor and was put on provera. By the time I got to my second pill my period already started. I've never bled or been in so much pain. The doctor told me to take between 5-7 since I got it early. As of today I've officially been on my period for THREE WEEKS. I now realize the wickedness behind pharmaceuticals. They don't fix you, they cause more problems. My advice to everyone: look up a functional medicine doctor near you. They can fix your cycle, help you get pregnant, fix your thyorid. Whatever the issue is they will get to the bottom of it and they WILL HEAL YOU. NATURALLY. I wish I knew what I know now before getting on these man made drugs with more side effects than I can list."

"I was put on Provera for abnormal bleeding due to uterine fibroids. It didn't help with the bleeding only made it worst. I had clotting the size of a golf ball and bad cramping...was told by nurse it can take up to 10 days for it to work well I was on it for 14 days and nothing changed."

"I started my period in March. It's been mostly light bleeding but on Friday it got pretty heavy. By Tuesday I was in the ER because I was just passing softball sized ball every single time I stood up. I went to see my obgyn today and he prescribed me with provera. Prior to taking it, I was still passing huge clots and just overall felt miserable. I've barely had an appetite and just felt so tired. Within two hours of taking this pill, I could feel the difference. I had more energy, I don't feel stabbing pain in my lower back from cramps, and I don't feel like a waterfall is going to come pouring out of me when I stand up. I know this is only the first day and I still have 13 days to go on this pill, but so far it's been amazing."

"I am 58 years old and haven't had a period in 8 years. Two years ago I started spotting for a few months. The OBGYN did a uterine biopsy and found negative results. At the end of Sept/2019, I started bleeding, not spotting. They did another biopsy to find negative results again. I really put my foot down for them to do a hysterectomy, otherwise, I don't think they would have suggested it. From what I read, this should stop the bleeding. Prayerfully, it will. The Obgyn put me on provera 2 pills twice a day for 7 days then down to one pill twice a day. My bleeding slowed down a bit, but never completely stopped. I'm scheduled to have a D&C and hysterectomy in two days to see whats going on. They have definitely seen a polyp, but want to put a camera up there to see if there's anything else. The provera gives me a headache and seems to make me bleed more than I was. But I cant be sure."

"I was taking Provera for 5 days after my fifth day my period came on a week later and has been on for a week I wanted to know how long would it last. Before I had this my cycle stayed on for 3 months none stop."

"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."
