For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I am a 65-year-old woman that is postmenopausal. In the last year, I have been spotting every month. I am on a waiting list for a hysteroscopy. In the meantime, I have taken Provera for 10 days, and then I started bleeding. One week later, I started bleeding. I am on my 6th day of bleeding very heavily and cramping big time. I'm to go back on Provera next month again for 10 days. Is this a normal procedure for a 65-year-old that has already been through menopause?"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "Two years ago, at 48, I already had years of perimenopausal issues, but I started getting heavy periods with cramps and huge clots, lasting over 1 week. Then, I had the worst period for 2 weeks, using tampons and pads each hour. My gyno gave me Provera 10 mg, and my period stopped after 3 days. Weirdly, I had no period after for 11 months! Then, my periods came back - some light, some heavy. This went on for 8 months; then, no periods, again. At the end of 2021, my gyno was going to do an ablation on me, but a pre-biopsy showed I have hyperplasia. To reverse this, or else need a hysterectomy, my gyno put me on Provera 10 mg, again, daily, for 3 months. The first 4 weeks were great, no period. But, I slowly started to get very heavy bleeding, cramps and big clots, and I’ve had these things now for 25 days! My gyno did another biopsy 3 days ago, which I’m waiting for the results. She also had me stop the Provera for 1 week, but my period hasn’t stopped yet. A hysterectomy is sounding better every day!"

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "My doctor put me on Provera 10 mg. I’ve been suffering with bleeding and clots. A blood test also showed I have low iron and am anemic. I have constipation too. After taking Provera for about 3 months, still bleeding irregularly. Legs feel heavy, looks like I swallowed a damn soccer ball. Got terrible cramps, feel exhausted, get terrible headaches. Feels like my body is giving up on me. So sick and tired of being sick and tired. Just want my life back, my energetic healthy self."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I have had a nonstop period for about 4-5 years now (I’m 29). I took Provera for 10 days last year, and it stopped my period for about 2-3 months, and then once again started. About 2 weeks ago, my doctor prescribed Provera again, and this time, yay. It’s so heavy, it’s like a water faucet has turned on and hasn’t stopped. The cramps are soooo bad. It’s been about 6 days since my last pill. It’s been a struggle. I go see an OB/GYN soon and hopefully can get some answers then."

For Birth Control "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 they sent me for an 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 stopped in 5 days of taking 2 pills 3 times a day. The scans came back negative for any growths. I started bleeding again on the 24th, now taking Provera prescribed at 2 pills 2 times a day. It's day 5, still bleeding from the 24th. I'm so tired..."
