Provera Reviews

Show: for
I was on provera for ten days to get my cycle to come on and it did help, but it did also made me a little sick and moody.
It got my AF to start, but it took a few days after the end of the medication cycle to start. I was so dizzy the entire time I was on it!
Working / Worked
helps alittle but im still in pain and i cannot have sex still..
was given this med to give me a period and worked everytime.
Definitely works.
Successful in bringing on my period. 10 days of pills, started period 5 days after stopping medication. I experienced bad mood swings and nightmares.
Just used to create a cycle
worked to get me to have periods 10 days of 10mg. AF came usually 2-3 days after last dose.
worked wonders to get my period started but I had really bad insomnia with it.
started cycles each time
