Hi,
I'm also on provera and clomid. I took provera 20mg/day for 5 days. My 1st cycle i took 50mg clomid, but till now, there' s no sign i'm pregnant and no menstrual. After found out, i'm not pregnant,  i took another cycle of provera. I'm suppose to have my period today. Later, i will on 100 mg clomid D2-D6. wish me luck.

hi,
   i have PCOS me and my bf av been trying to concieve for 2 years now but had no luck so far,
my doc reffered me to a gyne and he prescribed me a 5 day course of  Provera (Medroxyprogesterone) 10mg 3 times a day,
he said this would bring on a period (wich it did 8 days after course).
had your periods stopped? b4 now my last period was dec 2006!
have you ever discovered big blood clots and if you use tampons does it hurt,
i use to use them until now i can't stand the pain.
my next appointment to see the gyne is 12th march and he is going to put me on metmorphin to help me concieve.
GOOD LUCK TTC!!! keep me posted

thanks for the reply... my periods did stop, but not for that long. mine only skipped for like 3 months at a time. i started my period on feb. 14, and it is now the 19th, and i still am going on it. did yours last that long when you took provera? i am supposed to take clomid on my 5th day of my cycle... but i havent had like a full on period. its still there... just more or the old blood then anything, and now starting today, i have bad cramps. so who knows!! anyway... i hope this is my month, and hopefully yours also. i will keep you updated on my story!!

Thanks for the invite x
i was prescribed Provera on the 30th jan 08 it was a 5 day course. after taking it it took 8 days for my period to start (wed 13th feb) and then i started loosing egg size clots, i knew that wasnt right so i went to the hospital thursday (Valentines day) and they sent me home saying it was just a heavy period and it should calm down but if it didnt within a few days i should go back!! so anyway friday and saturday i felt like death warmed up so my boyfriends sister went back with me (she also has Pcos) they did an internal took some swabs (waiting for results) and prescribed me Tranexamic Acid Tablets and said i should take 2x 500mg 4 x a day until the bleeding stops, i only have 2 doses left but i am still bleeding!! what should i do? i am afraid that i might start loosing clots again when i stop taking these meds!! what about my next period, what if it happens all over again, if i cant have periods how will we concieve???

i would call your dr.'s office and let them know whats going on. as long as you are ovulating then you will be able to conceive, but i would definately call them and let them know whats going on. that doesnt sound normal to me. i started bleeding heavily yesterday, so now i am just waiting 5 days to take my clomid. did they tell you that you need to use ovulation kits? and also not to bd everyday, but every other day? just a couple things that my dr told me. also, track everything thats going on with a bbt calender? if you dont know what that is, just look it up on the internet. if you have any questions just let me know!!

[7821shopperholic]

hiya, where r u from i think we have a time difference between us? thought id let you know the bleeding shopped yesterday!! i was never told to use anything my gyne said you cant ovulate without having periods so would there be any point in trying ovulation kits? what does bd mean??

does a btt calendar mean birth to three becasue thast what i found.

[lheid]

hmm... yes there is a time difference. i am in pennsylvania. as far as you ovulating, thats part of conceiving. and just because you have a period, doesnt mean you ovulate. i would definately talk to your dr. about that. as far as the bleeding... i am happy to hear that!! i meant bbt calander by the way... i am not the best typer, but the bbt calander is the basel body tempertaure. its just a way to keep track of when you ovulate, when your period is, and so forth. if you are confused, i am pretty sure there is some brief explanation stuff. so, definately keep me updated with whats going on!!

[7821shopperholic]

Thanks!! its alway nice to have someone to chat to about my problems xx

[7821shopperholic]

yeah but can you ovulate without having periods?? i'm lucky to have one once a year!

[lheid]

no... i dont think so... thats no good at all... your dr. didnt put you on anything like birth control or a fertility drug to make you ovulate? do you have any cysts or anything?

[7821shopperholic]

no he just prescribed medroxyprogesterone (provera) but that was only a five day course to bring on a period. i am seeing him again on the 13th march he said he will put me on metformin!! is there anything you would suggest for me to ask for what will help me to concieve?? i dont know about the cysts yet i am having an ultra sound and a transvaginal scan on the same day as my appointment.

[7821shopperholic]

what meds are you on? did you say you were also ttc??

[lheid]

i am on provera and clomid. i have heard good things about metformin. i am ttc, and hopefully, if i ever stop bleeding, we can get the show on the road...lol.

[7821shopperholic]

what are these good things? do you think metformin will help without clomid?

[lheid]

clomid and metformin are both a fertility drug, and esentially do the same thing. they both make your body produce more eggs, which is why they say when you take fertility drugs, there is always a higher chance of multiple babies.
