"I'm 35 and came off the pill 9 months ago after taking it for 16 years. Haven't had a period for at least a year, even when on the pill. I'm at the 3rd round of Provera, I took it 2 times for 10 days, and got no period after the 10 days. No negative side effects, just dry mouth. It's almost like I wasn't taking anything. One positive thing though: it seems to have cleared the skin rashes and fungus I started having a few months after coming off the pill. Didn't bring my periods back, but solved my skin issues!"

"I hadn’t had a period in over 2 years and have suspected PCOS. I have been trying to get pregnant with my fiancé. I was given 10mg for 10 days. While I was taking the tablets, I felt a little nauseous but nothing major. Afterward, I had really bad PMS. On day 4 after the last tablet, I started spotting. By day 7, I had heavy bleeding. Heavier than I have ever experienced in my life. It was brutal and messy. I’ve had a lot of accidents too. I’m now on day 9 of my period and it’s just starting to ease up and will hopefully finish in the next week. Overall, it’s really effective and it definitely works for me."

"I was given this pill to take because I stopped having a period for 6 months. Put me on this for 10 days and the very first day of taking a pill I spotted. Then light period for 5 days. Then the next month. No period. So started taking the pills again. Not till the LAST pill was there blood. It was light at first for 3 days, now I have been bleeding So heavy non stop! I’ve been bleeding 10 days straight! Is something wrong? Called my doctor and they were “busy” said call back. Never did I can’t stand that office"

"I’ve been having irregular periods for about a year since I got off birth control, but this year I had a 7 week gap of no period and no signs of one. Went to OB and she said I had secondary amenorrhea, prescribed provera 10mg for 10 days for 3 months. I took it and instantly started bleeding about 30 minutes later. Worst cramps of my life and heaviest bleeding I’ve ever experienced. Only on day 3 so not sure if it will get better or worse but hoping for the best. It did induce a period for me almost immediately, which was necessary, however the side effects are really bad so far and I don’t know if it will help long term for me."

"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."

"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 :'-("

"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."

"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."

"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*"

"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."

"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."

"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. "

"Took it to induce a period so that I could start Letrozole. It was prescribed for 5 days and it worked! I started getting cramps by day 3 of taking it (mild) and got a period about 4 days after stopping it. I did not get a heavy flow like I expected from the reviews, it was just my normal flow. But the cramps were on a whole new level! I usually get lower back pain, but Provera made me have pelvic cramps for the first time in a long time. They weren't constant, but I made sounds and faces more than once lol. I would say they were a solid 8/10. Completely worth it, it did its job."

"I have been taking Provera for 2 years or so. It has not let me down yet. I used to take 10mg for 10 days then my period came 3 days after and it lasted 5 days. Now I have decided to take 10mg for 5 days and my period still comes 3 days after. My period only last for 4 days though which is great! The 2nd and 3rd day is heavy bleeding but otherwise it's definitely awesome!"

"Stopped taking my BC in 2019 then didn’t have a period for 6 months so decided to get my butt to the doctors. Prescribed me Provera took it for 10 days period came 3 days later, had period for 5 days but than 7 days later I’m bleeding again.. took the pills all 2020 still continued to have two periods a month, now it’s 2021 and I’m starting the provera again. In 2020 I stopped taking the pills in November cause I felt like it wasn’t working but also the stress levels of my 2020 didn’t help. Not sure if the provera helped me in the end."

"I have pcos and have been TTC 6 years with no luck. I feel better when I have a period so if I haven’t had one naturally in quite a few months I get prescribed provera and it works the trick I forgot which dose I was on but I’m sure it was 2.5 or 5mg for 5 days and then 8 days later I have my period. I am going to ask about getting put on this every month because I think it really does my body good having a period regularly."

"Dr. Rx’d Provera after ending up in hospital 12 hours after my period started. I bleed so much that I was given a blood transfusion of 2 pints and stayed in the hospital for 2 nights. A little history I had a tubal reversal in July 2020 and I never had a regular period since the procedure. OMG provera is my happy pill - I took Provera for 20 days and I felt happy all the time and had no side effects. I did have cramps but come to find out it was from my iron pills and bc I was constipated and nothing to do with my female repro area. So my Dr. changed my iron pills to one that is soft on the stomach. It’s been a month and I had a light period that lasted for 3 days and omg what a relief bc it was 1. I was bleeding heavy 2. I was spotting and bleeding for wks 3. I would miss a period for 2 months. I stopped taking Provera after the 20th day. I HONESTLY FEEL BETTER THAN EVER I HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS! I’m calm and happy all the time and I think I had a hormonal imbalance."

"Provera had been prescribed by my OBGyne because I haven't got period for nearly 7 months. My last period was January 2021 so I've decided to go to an obgyne. The medication is slightly expensive, it was prescribed to me 10 days. I took it on time and I did not start a period after 10 days. BUT after 2 days had passed, I started to see blood in my panty. It was very effective! ❤️ I highly recommend it. It helped me to finally bleed after so many months. Now, I am on my pill to treat PCOS because I have on my right ovary. Tip: Take it same time everyday to make it more effective"

"Have used Medroxy Provera 4 times now to instigate what is called a 'breakthrough' bleed due to severe ammenorhea caused by PCOS. First three rounds consisted of 5mg per day for 14 days, wait anywhere between 5 to 7 days afterwards, to then start bleeding at around day 20 of the make shift cycle. Fourth round the dosage was changed to 5mg twice per day for only ten days, then wait another week, to start bleeding again on around day 20. Each time used it has worked as intended, to force a breakthrough bleed to remove old cell lining and help prevent the risk of cervical cancer. Have only had problem once where I finished first breakthrough bleed, only to start up again a week after. However, the second bleed ended naturally, on its own at the usual 5-7 day mark. This medication has been helpful to ensure a breakthrough bleed, but it does not treat the cause which is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. UK Doctors advice is to take every three months if not having natural periods."

"I have primary amenorrhea. I have never gotten my period unless I have used birth control, basically, I have never gotten a period on my own. So imagine what it’s like trying to get pregnant I have started taking Provera 10 mg for 10 days. I am on day five after getting off of Provera, and I’m scared that I won’t get my period and won’t be able to take (letrozole) which is what is used to induce ovulation. Wish me luck."

"Given to induce shedding of lining as I do not get a regular period due to PCOS . Took 30mg for 5 days (3 pills a day spaced out) . I am on the 7th day where I have not taken a pill. No bleed yet but little spotting everyday . If you have mental health problems they will be exacerbated , I have had crying spells for no reason and anxiety and extreme depression after stopping provera . I have BPD , so I think thats also a reason why my mood is so bad . Just a warning to anyone with any mental health diagnosis or depression and anxiety I don't think I'd be willing to go through this again."
