"I had been on birth control for 5 years, I stopped taking it after my husband and I got married in June, 2019 because we wanted to start trying to have a baby. After I stopped taking the pill I did not have a period until November and then did not have a period in December or January. I went to my doctor in February and she prescribed me 10 mg of medroxyprogesterone for 10 days. Two days after I stopped taking medroxyprogesterone I started my period."

"I have taken Provera once before to help regulate my period. My menstrual cycle is very irregular (I can go up to 6 months between cycles with some cycles lasting up to 3 months) and it seemed to have worked after the first time taking it. However, after six months or so my periods became irregular once again. I've just started taking it for the second time and it seems to be working, although I will have to say it's given me some pretty intense mood swings."

Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "I took the depo provera shot for the very first time ever on 9/17/19, (I’ve never taken any form of birth control before this) it’s now 1/7/20 and I’m still bleeding! I was originally offered the shot due to heavy periods and large blood clots. I was told it would stop my period. After several attempts, I finally found out I have fibroids and wasn’t supposed to be given the shot but maybe the pill. I am now on lo loestrin pill which I started sometime in December 2019. I am on my second pack ( today is 1/7/20) and It has done nothing to help with the bleeding as I was told it would. This has been the worse experience ever! I’m so scared I will NEVER stop bleeding."

"I am 21 years old. By the age of 20 I had a medically induced abortion and after that my periods went back to normal. Around February of 2018 I didn’t have a period & I thought I was pregnant since me & my fiancé have been trying. 4 months after that passed & I didn’t get a period & I thought I might been pregnant. In late June I have spotting & light bleeding for a Whole month & 13 Days. I went to my Gyno & he prescribed me Medroxyprogesterone for 10 days. I’m on day 2 of having a heavy flow & I have a lot of blood clots but all I’m thinking about is getting my periods back to normal so I can start trying to get pregnant again. Overall I like this medication I feel like it’s cleaning my reproductive system."

"I'm 21 years old and recently found out I might have PCOS. I haven't gotten my period since 2010. On October 13th 2015 I started taking medroxyprogesterone 10mg for 10 days. It actually worked. My period came on 4 days after finishing the pill. It started with very light cramping and very light bleeding. This is only my second day of being on my period. Looking forward to seeing the outcome, if the bleeding gets heavier or not. This pill does cause mood swings. One minute I feel a certain way, the next minute it changes. I'm pretty sure I'm driving my fianc"

"I recently miscarried in December 2019. My period came back January 2020 and it was horrible. I decided to take this medication because of the miscarriage. I miscarried because my progesterone and HCG levels low. So I took this medicine February 2020 to hopefully get my cycles back on track. They have always been irregular or I'll skip a month. So we are hoping the medroxyprogesterone helps with my cycles. Taking the pills I cramped, had breast pain, dizziness, headaches, hot flashes, and I had trouble sleeping the 7 days I took it. It took 9 days after stopping the medicine to get my period back and honestly hurts a lot and it's heavy. It feels like I'm miscarrying again. Even though I'm not. Hoping the medicine was worth it and my cycles and hormones go back to normal."

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "The drug works for what it is supposed to do but I had all kinds of side effects. I had hot flashes, mood swings, headaches, and some dizziness. I am taking Provera along with Clomid in hopes to have a baby. This is my second round and it seems worse than the first one."

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "I haven't had a period in years I had my hormones checked and everything came back normal. The Dr wanted me to try provera challenge. I'm on my 4th pill. I haven't had any side effects I don't feel its going to work. I dont have PMS. I don't have sore Breasts I don't have any cramps. I did take it at bedtime in case I feel drowsey and non of that has happened. If I don't bleed when I finish these pills then I either have hypothalmus or i went into ovarian failure :'-("

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "Hi! I'm 18 years old and ever since I've had my first period, it's been irregular. I've even been up to 6 months without it. It's my first time with provera. I got my period two days after 10 days of taking the pill. The only side effects that I have had are that I've sort of had hair loss and frequent headaches. Other than that, I've always had PMS."

Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "I was on the jab for 5 years (20-25 years old). While I was on it I was fine - no problems apart from frequent headaches. My last jab was in July 2017. I spotted few times from September to December, and then in the middle of December a nightmare started. I have now been bleeding for 4 weeks. Heavily bleeding as well. My breasts hurt too, I went to the doctor and I was prescribed Norethisterone for 10 days. If this doesn’t help, I don’t know what will. These tablets give me an awful headache too. I am worried that I won’t be able to have children in the future. I feel weak because of the heavy bleeding. The doctors SHOULD inform of the side effect after stopping this injection. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone."

Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "Hi ladies, I am a 22yr old female 5'8, 134lbs. I've been on the depo shot for 5yrs. My first injection was admin my junior year of high school, 2009; 16yrs old. I was consistent with the schedule for 3.5yrs. 2013 I started to skip injections because I read that it wasn't good to continue more than 5yrs due to risks of osteoporosis & bone density but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I would only schedule to receive it to stop my cycles so I'd get an injection and instead of returning after the scheduled 13 weeks I would wait about a month or 2 after or when I'd start 2 spot to get another dosage. The last injection was May 2014 and I started bleeding January 6,2015 stayed on for 24 days str8 now They're coming every month now lasting for 1-2weeks. Am I OV yet?"

"Prescribed 10mg for 10 days due to not having a period for 2 years. All tests previously have come back fine and a laparoscopy. Progestrone challenge was to check if my body can bleed. On day 8 and I've had to call in sick to work. Insomnia, severe depression, extreme headache, hungry all the time, no energy, eye pain, nausea, terrible mood swings and suicidal thoughts. I would rather give up hopes of finding out what's wrong with me and if I can have children rather than endure another 2 days on this"

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "I'm on day 2 10MG for 10 days. Have not had a cycle in years. Every male Dr said it was in my head. Turns out it's PCOS. Intermittent cramping woke me up tonight. But if it means a cycle and a chance at a family I'll trudge through."

Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "I was pretty terrified to try it out hearing & seeing all these bad reviews. I got my first shot in November, around the time my period was ending. So far, that was my last period. The first month, I did get a little bit of cramping which I usually don't get. I haven't had any cramping since then. & also by the time I was due for my second period, I spotted instead for maybe 10 days (my periods usually last 5-7 days) & it seemed like it was more like discharge than it did spotting. Again, that's been it, no more periods so far nor spotting. As for gain weight, I may have gained a few pounds, honestly not sure. I never step on a scale. But nothing drastic. I just recently got my second Depo on February 12th, we'll see if all goes well."

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "I always had my regular period, but last year in 2020 I missed by 1 month and restarted naturally. Last month I had protected sex and missed my period. Although it was confirmed that everything was okay but still I was scared as I missed my period for 10 days. I took 5 home pregnancy test, all of which came negative and went to gynaecologist. She advised me to take provera 10 mg, 2 times for 5 days. As per her, periods should come within 3 days, if not wait for more 7 days else I had to do ultrasound. I took the med as advised. Each day look like ages for me. On 4th day of my pill and on 2nd day after taking the last pill I had spotting.On 3rd day after the last pill , aunty flo came. * sigh of relief*"

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "It looks like a crime scene. That’s all I have to say. I bought a 48 count of pads I’m on day 8 and I’m working on the second 48 count. Soo much blood, so much. Severe back pain for 7 days. Ruined panties, ruined sheets, ruined pants, ruined, ruined, ruined. Pray for the best of you all."

"I started taking this medroxyprogesterone medication because I am trying to get pregnant and have always had irregular periods. In order for me to start Clomid, I had to get a period so the first month I took 1 pill for 10 days. Did not get my period until 8 days after last pill. Took Clomid and the next month I had a negative pregnancy test. We restarted that process for the second time and after taking 1 pill for 10 days again, I got my period 5 days after last pill. I was fortunate to have a positive pregnancy test after the second round but unfortunately I had a miscarriage a week after we found out. Now I am restarting this medicine once again and today is currently 9 days after last pill and still no period. It’s very inconsistent but it might just be me. Praying that my pd comes soon."

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "This drug did the job and that was to get my period to return. While taking the medication I was nauseas and very anxious and emotional. I didn’t feel better until I finished the ten days of there medicine. When I was taking the medication I honestly felt crazy the entire time. It took 7 days after the last pill for me to get my period. Like I said it did the job and the ends was worth the means."

"I am on day 6 of medroxyprogesterone it is to help me get my periods as I haven't been having them and due to the fatigue caused, I take this at night. However, it does cause me some insomnia as well as night terrors. I woke up several times this week in a night sweat. I’m also very irritable and have a strong appetite."

Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "Today is my third day on Provera (generic). I have never taken this medication before so we will see what happens. So far, I haven't had any other side effects besides a little bit of dizziness, it also gets me very tired. I hope this medication works for me like it has for others, I was prescribed Provera to try to restore my periods. I have never been regular but not so irregular either if that makes sense... basically I get a period every month (except last month) but I'm never sure when! I conceived my first baby naturally (5 yrs ago) without any medications and now I can't seem to get pregnant naturally again. "

Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) "I don’t understand what other users are expecting. I got my first depo provera injection in April, 2020. I did spot for a month, minor cramping and slight blood enough to wear a liner. After that, I have not had a period until about a week ago. I started spotting…and now as of yesterday I have a whole proper period. My last injection was 6/16 and the next one is 9/1. Needless to say, I’m counting the minutes. I chose to go on the injection because I have THE WORST cramps, I mean to the point of blacking out and having to get hospitalized. I love this - I didn’t necessarily do it to prevent pregnancy so I can’t voice my opinion on that aspect but the lack of periods between about May, 2020 and August, 2021…AMAZING."
