Provera, Period, clots,when is CD3?

Hi there,
I suppose to give myself injection on CD3..
I took provera for 5 days, last day on Friday, and on Sunday I started spotting, with clots coming out.
Today I thought Im going to have a full flow but all I get is lots of clots...When do I count CD1?
Because when I m on provera, my period only lasts 2-3 days.
I haven't had clots before so Im wondering...I dont get blood just clots...
I don't want to miss CD3 but I don't know whether I should count today as CD 1 when I only get clots coming out?
THANKS for your HELP!

Hi Anya! Usually you would start counting when you get a regular flow, but in your case, since you were on provera, I'm not really sure... I'm also not sure why you are getting clots when you're not really bleeding much. Could you maybe call one of the nurses and see what they say?

Hi Heather!
I know it is usually a full regular flow and I used to get that even on Provera before....
In fact, last cycle I had my own period and it was good...
This time, I only get clots and I already called a nurse...they take time caling back.
Im just confused as to when to count CD 1 because I don't want this cycle cancelled and I need to start injections on CD 3....

I totally understand! I would be anxious to hear back too, especially since you're starting your meds on CD3! Hopefully they'll call you back soon!

Yes...
But do u think that clots is the same blood..i mean it is coming out all the time when im in the bathroom but no flow blood...I just soo hope that i can count today as day 1..

Hmmm! I'm not sure. I do get clots sometimes too, but it's usually mixed with blood...if that makes sense. Hopefully, you'll get to start counting today, so you can start the meds on Wednesday!

Yeah, my nurse hasn't called yet ;(
Its like I have cramps and I only get blood (little ) and clots when I go to the restroom. While Im seating at my chair or walk, I don't get much coming out at all....so its only when im in the restroom....so Im not sure about anything..I hope it can count but Ihaven't seen that many clots before.
