If I'm pregnant should I take provera 10 mg?

Hello,

I have already missed 2 periods. I went to the doctor and took a blood test that came out negative.  My doctor thinks I'm not pregnant. She gave me a  prescription for provera 10 mg.
I'm afraid because I had all the pregnancy symptoms and suspected pregnancy.
I've already taken 2 pills. what  if i'm really pregnant what can happen to the baby?

Please let me know if you had a similar situation or know anything about it.

Thanks,

Evelise

Just because she doesn't have a period for two months does not mean she is NOT pregnant. I missed two periods and did not test positive til I was 8 weeks fetal age (ten weeks gestation) and I was put on that medication because they didn't think I was pregnant and sure enough after taking it and still no period I was pregnant.

please read this link http://www.health-science.com/provera.html

Warning: The use of Medroxyprogesterone Acetate during the first four months of pregnancy is NOT recommended.

There is an increased risk of minor birth defects in children whose mothers take this drug during the first 4 months of pregnancy.

Hello,

I'm trying not to think I'm pregnant. Maybe I am worrying too much. I'm taking  provera 10 mg.
Today I'm feeling very sick, nausea and dizzy. I think it's normal and hopefully my period  will come.
I would be happy if I knew I was  pregnant, but now that I'm taking provera I better not be.
Thank you for your comments. I'll let you know how it goes.

You should have used a condom to avoid pg or diseases but no if you feel you dont want a child at this time go to a hospital or clinic other medical procedures have to take place in order to ensure that you are cleaned out if not other medical problems can occur or even death so love your body and self and go to a doctor

I am 23 yo. I lost a baby at 17 weeks in Oct. He had trisomy-18 (Edwards syndrome)
I last had af in march and so I thought I was pg again. Went for tests which came back stating that I was post menstrual.. I am on Provera 10mg for 5 days to see what happens.
Has this happened to anyone? I had an "accidental" pregnancy at 17 and kept her. She is a beautiful 6 yo but I really wish I had the "luxury" of taking a pill to "miscarry" like some of those out there. Adoption was put in place for a reason...

Hi. I had a miscarriage on Feb. 16, 2011. Didn't not get my period in March at all, so I thought I was pregnant, & took a whole bunch of pregnancy tests, but it all says negative. & now, its mid April and still don't have it, so I went to see my Doctor. He asked if I get my period every month & I said yes. He did an ultrasound to see if my uterus was back to normal & said yes. He also mentioned that its unusual for me not to get my period yet, so he gave me a pregnancy test & came back negative on April 18, 2011, so he prescribed me some Provera 10MG. I took 2 of them. I started feeling light cramps & I knew something didn't feel right. On April 22, 2010, I took a pregnancy test & there was a very light line, but I can still see it. I wanted to make sure, so I went and bought a digital pregnancy test & it said pregnant! I couldn't believe my eyes! Now, I am just so scared that it can harm the baby. Is there anyone that can make me feel at ease? Thank you!

In 2007 I had my son. And my periods were fine for awhile. Then all the sudden I was missing them. Month's went past & I thought I was pregnant. I got test after test and they all said no to being pregnant. Finally after tons of blood test and home test saying no, my doctor gave me a sonogram just to make sure, there was no baby. So she gave me provera, It caused me to have a period. But then the next month came, and along came no period. So I switched to a women's dr. And she ran test on me for thyroid problems and other problems it could be. When the test came back I found out I had PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). So everyone not having periods for months at a time but are having negative pregnancy results,talk to your dr and see if it could be PCOS and see if you can get tested. About 1 in 10 women have it and it also makes it difficult to get pregnant. With no birth control, and not having a period for over a year, I started taking metformin to try to get pregnant again and in Feb 2010 I had my daughter. Now i'm trying for my last baby. I moved so now I have a different Dr. Since i'm trying to concieve I am on 500mg Metformin,10mg provera, and prenatals. If i'm not pregnant within 6 months. She's going to give me Chlomid. ( a fertility drug) I am a bit worried about taking the provera while i'm TTC though.She gave me 5 refills of it. I just finished my 10 day course for this month, but if I happen to get pregnant & not know it, then start my 10 day course next month, Will it hurt the baby? Since I have PCOS and have a high risk of miscarriage anyways, I want to make sure I dont greater my chances, after all I'm TTC. Thanks

Speak to a doctor. If you're not ready for children, USE PROTECTION and get her on birth control. Abortion is not birth control and should never be used or intended for such. You say you have no choice, but you could have prevented this in the first place. Consider adoption versus termination as well. The child did nothing wrong and doesn't deserve to pay the price for your mistakes.

The FDA states very clearly that Provera or it's substitutes should not be taken while pregnant so maybe you are really doctors and if you are maybe you should go back to school for it. Not to mention the people who have commented on here about having miscarriages while taking Provera.

I as well have not had a period in over 2 months. I had two faint positives and then a bunchof negatives, A negative blood test as well. I finished my provera 4 days ago and still no period. I have been having pregnancy symptoms for well over 2 months now. I am waiting until Sunday and if no period I am going back to the gyn. I also have a Dr appointment with my primary on the 5th of august. I am continuing to have pregnancy symptoms and I am trying not to worry either way. The only thing that I am concerned with is if I am indeed pregnant that the provera will cause birth defects.
