taking provera while possibly pregnant?

I had my period March 24 and I have had 2BFN so I went to the dr. today and they gave me another urine test and told me I was not pregnant and it was not neccicery to do a blood test and gave me provera to make my period start.  I am scared that I am pregnant and it could possibly harm the baby.

Hi tamara, I am jen. I just want to ask, is your baby ok after you gave birth to him/her? I had read your comment, that you've got pregnant while taking Provera. I just want to know if the provera won't harm the baby, because i think, right now I am pregnant while taking provera.

It does nothing to the baby. they gave me a preg test and it was neg, so they gave me provera to bring my period on. It never came they did another test and i was preg. My son is 1 now and he is so healthy.

I have a 4 year old and I had a "chemical Pregnancy" in January, so I know I can get preg. but for some reason I have not had anything happen since Jan.  I did get my period after 7 days of provera three days later it started.  How long have you taken clomid?  I am wondering if maybe I should try that route?  Does that raise your chances of multiples?

We have been trying to have a baby for a year now.  I am not prenant.  I wish I was.  I just finished my last dose of provera this morning and still no period.  I have had many urine test and 2 blood test and negative.  I am really for my period so we can start Clomid again.  I get frustrated and then I calm down.  I would love to talk to someone in the same position.  I know I can get pregnant we had 2 m/c last year.

Thanks, I hope my story ends up like yours and I find out soon I am too.  So you were still ovulating and not having a period?  I have also had a negitive test, but I just feel like I am.

I completely understand how you feel.  You should start your period a couple days after you finish your last dose.

Good luck!

I was in the same situation at the end of March.  I missed my period in February.  I was suppose to get it again on March 21st according to my cycles.  Still nothing.  On March 26th took another HPT and still (-).  Dr. put me on Provera to start my period.  On March 30th something told me to take a HPT again and it came back (+).  I was so scared that taking the Provera for 5 days harmed the baby because of the things I read also.  Called the Dr. right way scared and she said there is nothing to worry about.  I am 8w5d today and so far so good.  Seen the baby and the heartbeat.  Good luck!

Hi Tamara, I am currently in a similar situation, I am worried since I read all these negative things on the Internet about taking provera while pregnant. I was 2 days in out of the 5 day cycle when I had a weird feeling to stop and I took a test and it's positive.. I already called my dr. And scheduled an appt. But I just want to enjoy the thought of being preg. Without worrying. My question is how did everything turn out for you ?

Thank you

Thanks, I got on a site about provera and it said it could cause birth defects, but it was not a manufactures site.  This makes me feel much better.  If I am not pregnant I want my peroid to start so I can keep trying!

If you are pg, the Provera won't do anything.  It won't cause a miscarriage.  Way back in the day, they used to give Provera as a pg test - if you didn't start your period then it meant you were pg.
