For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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!"

For Amenorrhea "Stopped taking it 2 weeks ago. I've had cramps, back ache, a huge zit on my face. I am 50 in December. Haven't had a period in a year. Gyn gave me Provera due to a thicker than normal lining. Don't know what's next? Just want some relief. I'm so bloated it's not even funny. Look pregnant. This medicine didn't work for me."

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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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?"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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!"

For Amenorrhea "I was prescribed this drug Provera due to not having a period for several months and wanting to get pregnant. I was given 10 day supply and I had painful stomach aches. So bad that I didn’t take it the last 2 days. My period came just a few days later and it was not heavy but pretty normal. Around the 4th day my cramps became unbearable. Never experienced such pain before. The doctor wants me to continue to use this drug if I don’t see my period again next month. I’m not sure I can go through with it again."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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."

For Amenorrhea "Provera is an effective medicine for amenorrhea. I would like to share my experience here: When I didn't get my periods on the regular dates, I went to gynecologist, he told me things are okay, the reasons of delay he told me were hormonal imbalance and stress. He gave me certain medicines and a syrup of herbal medicine to get the periods and make it regular. But, I didn't get the period inspite of taking them. So, I googled this medicine out, and got my periods after taking provera 10mg tablet daily for 5 days. I would like to thank to all who reviewed this medicine earlier."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "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."

For Amenorrhea "I came off the pill over a year ago and my cycles have been super irregular. My doc prescribed me provera to bring on a period as I hadn't had one for about 3 months. I managed to bleed a day before I finished my 10th pill (I was given 10 pills) I mean it's great to bring on a period but I was under the impression it would regulate my cycle thereafter but that is not the case. So it doesn't really help at all with irregular periods? A bit pointless to say the least."

For Amenorrhea "I'm 18 and had very regular periods every month for 4 years and they stopped for no reason. Played the wait game & before I knew it 3 whole years has passed. 5 day 10mg provera challenge starting July 1st and on July 9th, 4 days after my last pill got my period. Not a terrible period for me like everyone else. A little heavy, mild cramping but my periods use to be worse. Also, does anybody know if it's true if my periods come back on their own after 3 provera cycles? Read that a few places but idk if it's true."

For Amenorrhea "First, I'm from Brazil, so forgive my bad English =]. I have PCOS and decided to stop taking birth control pills 8 months ago, I know it's expected irregular periods for a while but I was on 70th day of my cycle...so I decided to take Provera for the first time ever(doctors here only prescribes metformin or bc pills for PCOS). I took 10mg for 7 days and 5 days after the last pill, my blood came!! Yay! It was a regular flow and light cramps, the only thing I noticed during the 7 days was food cravings and crazy dreams."

For Amenorrhea "I was recently diagnosed with PCOS with no periods (amenorrhea) so my OB-GYNE prescribed provera 5mg for 5 days and after 3 days I started bleeding heavy until today 9th day. I'm a bit worried because if I do get a period it usually lasts only for 5 days."

For Amenorrhea "Back in 2011 I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility and prescribed Provera to induce a period and Clomid to force an ovulation. We were coming to the end of my medications and I was told I’d be referred for IVF as it wasn’t working. I took the last dosages of medications and now I have an 8 year old daughter because of them! Currently on day 6 of a 10 day prescription again as I’ve not have a period in nearly a year and I now have been diagnosed with PCOS. Starting to feel cramps and am finding that I’m quite easily agitated."

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."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I am 52 and have been suffering from very heavy periods for years - Three months ago I missed one and assumed it was start if menopause - then the following month had a normal period then a really light one - then on 20 October started bleeding and have been bleeding since - went to dr who prescribed Provera 10 mgs 3 times a day slowed it up a bit but not properly - one minute it was light then it was heavy - then really heavy. I rang doctors again who decided to refer me for an ultra sound but in the meantime prescribed transamic acid. So I started that too - it seems to have slowed up a bit today and now just light pink discharge and slight cramp but not enough to take pain killers Just waiting for scan now and hoping that’s all clear - bloods are normal Dr wants to try Mirena IUD - another dr has suggested HRT I have no idea what to do"
