since Ive lost my period a while ago since I was anorexic I was prescribed Provera....is that a birth control? or just something to trigger my period?

Hi Pinklady, and welcome to our board.


I looked up Provera for you and found this: http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/Uses/0,3915,412|Provera,00.html


I hope this helps, and I hope that you'll come back to tell us how you are doing!

According to my research provera is usually given to help trigger the start of a period, but it can be used to prevent abnormal growth of the uterine lining of women who are partaking in estrogen replacement therapy. The cease of a normal period is a scary thing but please try to remember that you are not alone. Feel free to contact me anytime when you need to talk.
