Was given Provera by the dr. What are you thoughts on this
If you are on or have tried Provera..what are your thoughts on it. I will try it but I am so sensitive to all medication side effects. I had issues on Sprintec. The dr said if Provera doesnt work its either Lupron or Hysterectomy. I dont want a hyster so I may have to try Lupron.
Thanks for your input.

Hi there =)
By Provera I assume you mean Depo provera? Shot form? If so - I had this for 3 years age 15-18. It worked well for 1 year and the other 2 were iffy (but thats another story on my stupid OBGYN at the time!). Why arn't I on this now? Besides it no longer helping me, I began to bleed through it even when the dosages were put up and done shorter between shots, I also developed osteoporosis in my hips. So if it works great! and I truely hope it does, I do recommend taking calcium suppliments, being so young I was very naive thinking something like bone loss wont happen to me. I also say exercise if possible. A couple of side effects include weight gain and moodiness. I also still experienced slight menstrual cramping, breast tenderness, mood swings etc each month when I should have been due when I did have that one period free year.
Besides those negatives it works well as contreception however breakthrough bleeding it isn't recommended to be sexually active as it's not working properly thus accidents can occur. All in all if it's working and you keep up your suppliments along side good doses of dairy for bone strength and density it should be a great hormone.
For me, if I didn't have such nasty side effects, that one year was about as much bliss as I could ever have hoped for and I often wonder if I will ever have it again, if it contnued that way I would have stuck to it!
Goodluck :)

No its pill form. You take it for 10 days a month. But acts like the shot.
Thanks for your response

I also just finished taking the pill form of Provera for 10 days.I started spotting the last day with cramping.The Dr said I would have a heavy period 3 days after stopping Provera so we will see.I am still spotting with cramping but haven't had any other side effects.After I finish my period she wants me to take birth control pills for 3 months then see if I have stopped the spotting between periods.
