Primary polycythemia occurs when excess erythrocytes are produced as a result of a proliferative abnormality of the bone marrow.

1st provera pill

Hi ladies

I'm excited to see what happens, I took my first provera pill today. I take provera for 10 days, right? (and) should expect my AF within 14 days. I'm really anxious, I think once my AF comes I'm going to start 50 mg of clomid. I'll keep everyone posted, I hope I won't need more than two clomid treatments.

GL! I really hope that the clomid works for you. For me, the Provera usually brought AF within 3 days of stopping the pills but it can take longer.

GL I was on the same regimine! I usually saw AF less than a week after my last pill. Beware to some fun side effects tho. :) I had weight gain, bloating, acne, and I was so weepy. I thought it was Clomid but once I was only taking Clomid, I realized it was the Provera. I hope it works for you. I on the other hand is in my fifth and final round of Clomid (250mg) and have yet to see wonderful results. My numbers have increased but not enough to o.

I've actually been having weird side effects for the past week while I was only taking metformin. I thought I might be preg, but I didn't take a preg test since I wasnt really sick. My breast got bigger and very sensitive and sore. I got acne (and my face is usually pretty acne free). It seemed like I was losing weight in my hips (my pants fit a lil bagger around my waist) but my stomach looked like it was getting bigger and I've been eating really the same amount(s) of food. I've been real emotional and kind of depressed. I just figured it was the medicine bringing my hormone levels where they should be. I'm just confused and want all of this to be over and of course end in a healthy preg.

Those just sound like PCOS symptoms. Metformin made me so sick that my dr had me stop taking it. Your sore bbs are from your hormone levels. I know this is all so much to deal with but so worth it in the end. Hang in there we are all on the same trip :).

sore bbs are from hormones?? I have been on metformin for 8 months and I am just getting them now. I check for pregnancy and nothing but the sore bbs dont seem to go away. Will they ever??

Provera and Clomid will bring on all the same kind of symtoms that might make you think are also pregnancy symptoms. Clomid side effects can be... interesting. Lets just say warn your husband. LOL!! :)

I normally get my period a few days after my last Provera pill but this last cycle I got my period before taking my last pill... I still had TWO pills to go!! ((A little surprised to say the least!))

Good Luck!

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
