Provera Reviews

Show: for
took 10 mg for 5 days then got a period a few days later.
doc gives to me when i have missed a period or before i start taking bc
It brings on a period everytime. I don't notice side effects, mostly because my cycle is so infrequent otherwise.
It works every time I need to use it and I have no side effects.
I have been taking this for 3 months now. One month was to see if it worked and they said after the last day of taking the pill it should take up to 2 weeks to get your period. Oh did those days drag by finally 3 days before the 2 weeks where up I got my period Thank Goodness I was so happy. The second month I took it and got my period one week and 1 day after the last pill and then I started the clomid treatment it didn't work wasn't enough progesterone in my systom. I get all the side affects
It works to force my cycle, however I am not a fan of the emotional mood swings that accompany it.
