prescribed Provera while trying to get pregnant

I had a miscarriage in Sept05 and my periods have progressivly got longer and heavier. Ive been prescribed medroxyprogesterone acetate (provera) to regulate my periods,on days 15 to 25 of my cycle. Was told it would not interfer with my fertility but all info ive seen clearly states do not use if pregnant. I could get pregnant then take the provera as i wont know im pregnant til i miss my next period. Very anxious about any damage i could be doing, any one been in a similar situation??
Thanks

I am going thru the same exact thing I had a faint positive on two tests but now 2 days later they are negative I was prescribed 10 pills in 10 days well I'm on day 12 with still no period. I experienced many pregnancy symptoms but confused whether I could be pregnant or possibly side effects of the pills.
I go in for a blood test today but i'm so nervous of it coming out negative.  I know this is an older post but I am just curious on whether you were pregnant or not? it would really ease my nerves a bit :)

Thanks!

My last period was on 31/7. i thought i am pregnant on 26/8 with the pregnancy test +ve with one faint line. Dr confirmed i am not Pregnant and put me on provera 10mg for 5 days. I started provera on 31/8. On1/9, I tested again, the pregnancy test still positive with one faint line still. Should I stop Provera? Info fr Internet, provera should not be taken during pregnancy. However,  Dr told me if i got pregnant,provera is actually helping me to preserve the baby. Is that true? My period is nv late, it's either on time or earlier. Please help...

I was just put on Provera to help bring on my period. I have ALWAYS had irregular periods, and my husband and I have been trying to conceive for over a year. We just saw a fertility specialist and he is putting me on provera to bring on my period, and then I will have to get bloodwork/ultrasound done once I start my period

Can you start your menstral in the middle of a provera prescription? I was prescribed 10 10mg pills for ten days to stop this constant flow I've had for the last 5 months due to the depo shot. I've been on the provera for 6 days. The bleeding got really light to where I could go with out tampons or pads for two days straight. But now I have sore breast,cramps,bloated,& the earge to poop. Can this be a normal period coming on? Should I continue the pills?

I was put on provera today to start my period to start birth control. I really want to get pregnant sooo.... instead of starting the birth control should i just do the provera and have sex all 5 days and try to conceive then take a pregnancy test.
then if i get a negative just start the birth control.
Because my doctor wants my uterus lining to be thinned out, which is the point for the birth control. but i want to to get pregnant asap.

I had my last period on May 16th and had my tubal reversal done on May 27th.
I was suppose to start on June 13th and haven’t had a period and I am suppose to ovulate this weekend. I had a blood test and I am not pregnant. I know the surgery knocked me off my cycle. I have had symptoms feeling like I am going to have a period since the 13th.
I started taking provera last night to help me start my period.
My question is: Can I still ovulate without having my period and being on Provera?
Thank you,
Christine

I was put on provera for days 12 to 21 of my cyclenso as to regulate it because the cycle length would be about 34 to 38 days. I use an app on my iPad so I can know my possible fertile days and this month the first I'm taking the provera on the day it said I should be ovulating I noticed slight brown blood and I experienced some cramps. I was elated cause I thought it could be implantation bleeding but it has gotten heavier and is sometimes pinker in color thoughbi have yet to see actual blood. Has this happened before? I didn't even get to finish my pills and I still have like 13 days left of my cycle. Also I have no breast pain which I always do with my periods. The only time I haven't had breast pain wi a menstrual was the month before I found out I was pregnant, but I miscarried. Please help in anyway you can thank you
