"I’m on this for early-stage womb cancer. An attempt to salvage my womb and reverse the growth of tissue with cancer in it. The first 2 weeks were fine. I slept well and felt calm. After 2 weeks, I began getting vaginal cramping and a pelvic cramping/jabbing sensation. I then got a period that lasted for around 2.5 to 3 weeks. I read that this is the uterus lining breaking down and being expelled. I have also read the uterus lining will rebuild. I’m getting spotting/blood every day. I’m not sure if this is normal or indicative of something to worry about?! Having read comments on here, no other women have taken Provera for the same condition as me. Most women go for a hysterectomy straight away. The Provera is working fine for me… the vagina and urethra have become super sensitive. The pelvic pain continues. I assume this is a side effect. I feel lethargic every day, another side effect."

"After months of bleeding, some extremely heavy, I went for an ultrasound and eventual polypectomy, and D&C. I'm 52, I should mention. They found precancerous cells and prescribed Provera 20mg a day until further notice. I've been taking this for a month already. Side effects: dizziness, loss of appetite, stomach upset. After the procedure, I was bleed-free for 3 days and then it started again. It's getting progressively worse, and today I passed a clot the size of a loonie (Canadian). Praying the oncologist suggests a hysterectomy."
