"Love it! It eliminated my periods for 3 months and I clocked in regularly every 3 months, something that never happened in my life. I would have stayed on it if it wasn't that I needed a pill with estrogens. I had no side effect at all."

"So I was recommended the provera for my abnormal period .I haven't seen my period in a year and 6 months and my doctor prescribed me this to take for 5 days a week and couple days later I had some cramps and then my period came. I'm going to be trying the fertility drug after my period so I can conceive."

"Absolutely rubbish. Did not work at all. I had a full period along with every symptom and side effect you could possibly imagine. I took these due to going on holiday however as they did not work I have been sick and bed bound, wasting my holiday time and money ! I am so disappointed and recommend nobody to take these."

"I was on this For 5 YEARS UNTIL My DOCOTR MADE ME Get Off SINCE THIS CAUSES low bone density. I regret being on it so long but was scared to try anything else and get pregnant. Pros- no periods/cramps and no pregnancy Cons-weight gain. I was a soccer player my entire high school career and walked everywhere. I gained 40 pounds in 5 year period. 20 pounds first year. It didn't stop. I went from 150 lbs to 206. At this point I wanted to get off and I reached 5 year limit. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECCOMMEND"

"My last normal cycle was the 23rd of March 2017. On the 10th of April I started spotting on the 11th it stopped then I started spotting on the 14th then it stopped on the 15th then started bleeding on the 18th of April until the month ending very heavy and lots of clots. I went to the clinic and then sent me for a ultrasound and blood test I didn't have the money to do these so the following week I checked myself into the emergency room at the hospital they gave me provera to stop the bleeding which it stopped in 5 days of taking 2 pills 3 times a day. The scans came back negative of any growths. I started bleeding again on the 24th now taking provera prescribed at 2 pills 2 times its day 5 still bleeding from the 24th I'm so tired ....."

"My obstetrician prescribed this medication to me because I had missed my period for three months. She gave me a 10-day course of 10mg and after the 10 days, I got my period five days later. It was extremely painful, which she had warned me about due to the long gap in my menstrual cycle. She prescribed a second round the following month, but I haven't gotten my period yet, even though it's been two weeks since I finished the 10-day course. I am trying to conceive, so this is disappointing. I have contacted my obstetrician and am waiting for the next step."
