Provera didn't work

Hi Everyone,
My dr. prescribed me to provera to help me get a period.  I took it for 7 days, 1 tablet a day, at 10mg.  I'm also on 1000 mg of metformin, and 100mg of spironolactone each day.  I've finished my 7 days of the provera and have not had a cycle.  I've had spotting but no full fledge flow.  This is very concerning to me.  After I went off the pill in July of 2010, I was getting cycles each month, not always the same days apart, but pretty close.  I was then diagnosed with PCOS in January... I was having severe acne, and hair loss.  My testosterone levels were high, coming in at 73.  That is when they put me on all of this medication.  Has anyone else had the provera not work?  I'm scared that I have no other options, as I was looking forward to taking the Letrozole the Dr. had prescribed...Here I thought I was starting a new journey, something that would work!  Anyone help???

Confused.

My dr. told me to take provera for 10 days. Maybe 7 isn't long enough, ask your doc, you might even be able to ask a pharmacist.
