Provera Reviews

Show: for
Took for the first time, and had my first real menstrual cycle in a long time!! YEAH!
First round of provera was awful. Bad side effects of hot flashes, night sweats, dizziness, loss of apetite. Now it works just fine each time I need to bring on Aunt Flo.
I started my period after 7 days on Provera
It would start my period.
Never get periods on my own, so they put me on this before I get Clomid. Makes my cycles horrible. Very heavy bleeding
Took it for the first 7 days of the month, and I'd have a period.
takes forever to work on me
Took years ago when I didn't have periods
Since I never ovulate, which in turn means I do not get a cycle, this drug helps induce a cycle. I will be trying this again soon.
took 10 mg for 5 days then got a period a few days later.
