STILL SWEATING
Works great at getting AF started again
I take Provera twice a month for 14 days. After the 14th day, my period begins. The side effects are: heavy bleeding in the beginning, pre-menstrual syndrome, clotting, anxiety, extreme fatigue, etc.
Definitely gives me a period. A harsh period, but doesn't help to jump start my body to do it on its own.
I love it and still take it. I have been on it for about 2 years.
Well I got my period last month for the first time in a long time
It works a little too good, I had a 21 day period. Worst cramps and bleeding in my life.
used in the past to start my cycle.

For DUB
When I need to induce a period, I can still take Provera. Otherwise, I don't have them.
