Comparing Medroxyprogesterone vs Provera

For Amenorrhea I was prescribed Provera (10 mg/ 10 days) due to not having a period for several years and so my husband and I can have a baby. Works like a charm. Started period 4 days after taking last pill. 1st day was mild flow and all subsequent days were extremely heavy. It's now day 6 of having a period, which is not normal for me even when I had periods, and continue to have extremely heavy flow. I will be calling my doctors office today as I do not want this to continue. The upside is I did not experience any side effects while taking the medicine.

For Amenorrhea Induced a period around a couple of days after the 10th pill was taken. Caused upset stomach, but otherwise worked well.

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding It’s a good medicine overall I had really heavy bleeding and got sent to the hospital and they put me on this which was 10mg for 20days and I stopped bleeding 12 days into it . But after reading some of these comments makes me so worried because once I stop it I’ll have the “break through” bleeding. So my thing is, how are you going to put someone on something for so long then when they stop taking it then it’ll come rushing again. Hmm.

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding My doctor put me on 10 mg Provera for two weeks due to menorrhagia. I had been bleeding heavily for two weeks when I started with the medication. Provera slowed my vaginal bleeding down to a medium flow, some times even a light flow, but it never stopped the bleeding. On the 14th day, and last day of Provera, I started getting bad cramps that lasted for two and a half days. A day AFTER I stopped with Provera, it was like someone turned on a faucet. Blood is gushing out of me. It’s like when you sit down and urinate, only it’s blood gushing out of my uterus. It was really scary until I came on here and saw that extremely heavy bleeding seem to be normal when you first stop with Provera. Luckily, I’ve been off work the last two days and stayed in bed or on the toilet. Third day of being off Provera is tomorrow, which is also when I’m back at work. Hoping the bleeding will have slowed down a little bit by then.
