HI Everyone


SO my body is confused I think.


I started my last period April 4th. (About 9 weeks ago). I took a hpt when I was two weeks late and another when I was three weeks late. Both were negative. I also did a blood test with my doctor at 4 weeks late that came back negative. I have been prescibred Provera to bring about a breakthrough bleed but I've been on it for 5 days and the doctor has only prescribed 7 days.


 


I'm so confused with what's going on? Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome.

You won't get your period while taking the Provera. The Provera is designed to build the lining up in your uterus. Once you stop taking the Provera, and the levels have dropped in your system, this will hopefully trigger your period, and reset your cycle. It could very well have been that you didn't ovulate after your last period, and that's why your period never arrived on schedule. Stress, illness, ovarian cysts, sudden weight gain or loss can all cause a delay in ovulation.

Hope that helps!
