prescribed Provera while trying to get pregnant

[Valohhello]

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

If you have been trying to get pregnant but you are having isues getting there I dont think you need to worry about hurting a possible pregnancy with all that is goin on with you. Chances are you are not pregnant at this time. I was put on the same thing I think I took it for like ten days.  It was supposed to make you start a period with the hopes that it will then stay on track like it is supposed to,  Good luck!

I was on provera in Dec 05 and Jan 06 and I now am 9 weeks pregnant.  Provera used to be given as a pregnancy test.  If you took it and had a period then you were not pregnant and if you took it and didnt have a period then you were pregnant.  Provera or the generic that you are talking of is pretty much progesterone and it will help your uterus.  Dont worry it wont harm a pregnancy.  Best of luck!

Thanks to the above, i feel more reassured now.

I was put on provera for 10 days to see if I would start my period because I havent had it for a few months and I finished those 10 days and stilll didnt have it...do you think its a great possiblity that I can be pregnant? (I HOPE)

Well, I was put on provera for 10 days. You should get your period within 10 days after taking the medicine.  On day 11 of no period I called my doctor.  He told me to take a pregnancy test and it was POSITIVE.  Good luck!!!

I see you took medroxyprogesterone while being preg, I did that too... I am worried about taking this while pregnant, what did your doctor say about that? How far were you when you took it?  My doctor says it's fine but because of the warnings on the bottle I am beyond worried!!!

Hi Girls, please I need help! I took provera for 5 days as prescribed by my gyn. (I did a home pregnancy test and got negative on the 35th day of my cycle as my doctor told me to do). So I started provera from 11/10 to 11/14. I have been on provera for a couple of months and always got my period on the 3rd day after my last pill. Last period I took clomid but I assume I did not ovulate because the fertility monitor never reached the peak fertility day. I still had sex on the supposed fertile days because I was not sure. I was waiting to get my period this month to take clomid again, but it did not come. I have PCOS. I did another pregnancy on 11/23 test because I was worried and it came ot positive. Can I really be pregnant after taking provera? I am calling my gyn tomorrow but wanted to know your thoughts! I am concern with the warnings on the bottle too. Thanks!

I was given provera twice to bring on my period even though I kept telling my doctor I was sure I was pregnant. I had already had 4 children. But of course my doctor thought he knew better than me if I was pregnant. I was in fact pregnant. At the time I was told of possible heart defects or in the event my baby was a girl, she could have genitalia resembling a small penis that would have to be surgically corrected. When my baby was born she looked fine. But she wasn't. She was very masuline in nature and during her teen years her clitoris grew into a small penis. Any Doctor who tells you it is safe to take while already pregnant is a liar and trying to cover himself from a lawsuit. It is not safe and does damage some fetuses. Provera has damaged my child's life and the effects will be there forever. Once she became an adult and after years of torture and taunting from ignorant people treating her like a freak, she now lives as a male.

Hi, Ladies

I  found out that I have pcos when I was 18yrs old. Now I'm 29yrs old and I had two miscarriages, and it been a rollercoaster ride for me and my husband. I refuse to go to the fertility dr again. I went to my gyn dr and now I'm on provera to regulate my period. I wonder if I will get pregnant from taken the provera. I have to take the provera for two months  until my period get regulated. I wonder during that tme if I will conceive I have to have faith. I think that you ladies also should have faith. I know it is a long journay, but we can do it.

Based on info I have read via the internet I should expect my cycle within the next 3-14 days. I was wondering if i would be able to get pregnant or would i need to be rx another medication.

hi
my doctor prescribed my provera ( 2 tablets a day for 5 days) to help kick start my periods in order for me to take clomid as i havent had a period since january.
after finishing the course of provera on 28 april i was told my period would come 1-2 days after. it hasnt come and i have been experiencing stomach cramps and nausea and tiredness. i went to my gp on 6 may who didnt really know what to do and she said she would get in contact with my consultant at the hospital. she said it may be worth doing a pregnancy test but she doubts very much it will be positive.
well i went home and did the test and it was positive!!!
called her back and she was shocked and advised me to do another test in another couple of days.
i did 2 more tests and both were negative!!!
i'm really confused now and not sure if was really pregnant in the 1st place.
Can provera give you a false positive result?
i have spoken to my doc again today and i have to go and have blood tests done up at the hospital later today to check my hcg level.
i havent any bleeing at all so dont think i have had a miscarriage
Has anyone else had a similar experience whilst on provera?

provera does cause pregnancy. i lost 4 babies within 2 years then i couldnt get pregnant at all for 2 more years, my doctor put me on provera because of problems with my period and all of a sudden i was pregnant i had my 1st baby. it causes you to ovulate but it can also help your body hold on to the prenancy or atleast thats what i was told by my doctor.

IM ON PROVERA FOR 10 DAYS IM OVER WEIGHT AND HAVENT HAD A PERIOD FOR 9 YRS DO YOU THINK IT WILL WORK ME AND MY HUSBAND ARE TRYING TO REGULATE MY PERIOD TO  HAVE A CHILD WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK

[LynViar]

I started my period a month after i turned 13 and haven't had many since, maybe 30. I am now 28 and am trying to start a family. My doctor did a sonagram and found i have pcos, my left ovary is fine but my right ovary is very much enlarged. i took pill 10 of my provera today, 08/28/10. I have also been keeping a Basil Body Temperature chart, and according to the chart i ovulated 3 days after starting provera. I've wondered if there were any side effects to worry about if i should get pregnant while taking provera. i have searched the internet looking for any info i can find. But still always end up confused yet hopeful.  my dr. has me starting clomid on days 3 thru 7 of my peroid. im so excited and can't wait.  im also supposed to have a procedure during my period called hystosalpingogram, where they check my fallopian tubes to make sure they are open and free from obstructions.  No period yet, but will keep posting.
Good luck to everyone!

if your gyn prescribed you provera 10mg and you still havent started your period you need to go back to your gyn asap cause it can mean that you r pregnant or somethin is seriously wrong

[needababy4444]

i have been put on provera ten pills last month ten pills this month NO PERIOD i wonder why it is not working on me???

[standanf]

I was just given a 10 day dose to start tomorrow for my absent period :( I am trying to get pregnant too, so it's nice to read these stories and know that I am not alone. Fertility Friend. com is an awesome website that you can use. It teaches you a lot about your body and how it's supposed to work. If you chart your temps you can also see when you ovulate. Hope this helps anyone that needs it :)
