Provera anyone, and if so....
| Fri, 08-11-2006 - 11:53am |
Why do some people take different doses at different lengths? I have been prescribed it for 10 days at 10 mg and I was wondering if I had to take it that long, some only take it for 5 days. I want to get my AF and get this cycle over with!
TIA

hey Leah -- I just spoke with the nurse, she said if you start af while still taking provera to keep taking the full 10 days. just letting you know...
keep us updated!
my last pill is tomorrow morning! yay! I will let you know from there.., my goal is by sunday because on the pill (bcp), I took my last pill Saturday and I usually got my AF on Tuesday night, I am hoping my body reacts like that to this as well....wish me luck!

hey Leah - just checking in, any sign of af yet? that makes sense about the dates for you to start on Sun. When I was on the bc patch I would take it off on Sun and start af on Wed so maybe it will be the same for me
I got a call from my dr's office they wanted me to come in to discuss my lab results (they were checking my thyroid & pituitary glands) - the dr expected everything to come out normal. I told the nurse I really didn't want to come all the way down there just for them to tell me I'm fine then she said they wouldn't be calling me unless there was something to discuss--- AGGGGHGGHGH of course she wouldn't tell me anything, I don't think she knew anything though I think the dr just says to call these patients. Then she said wait all my labwork isn't back yet so they'll call me to schedule when everything is in. It was really not cool of her to call me the other day and freak me out like that. I doubt anything is wrong but of course now I'm paranoid
sorry I wasn't going to say all that stuff but I just can't concentrate on anything till I know what's going on!!!
keep us posted... I do wish you luck!!!
sorry I have been MIA for a few days. I am on day 3 after going off provera and so far no gush. I have had some brown spotting but only when I wipe, I am hoping that's just the beginning and any day/minute now the real stuff will come! I can just see my luck that I wait two weeks and don't get AF!! How frustrating! Anyways, just wanted to keep you posted. Let me know what the doctor tells you. That's frustrating to wait and not know what you are waiting for! What is the last day of your provera?
hi Leah! thanks for the update! I was reading about provera online and I think it said af usually starts for most women 3-10 days after stopping, so I bet the spotting is just the beginning of af for you. did your dr run any other tests? are you temping/charting?
I'm on day 7 of provera my last day will be 8/23, I was thinking af would start on 8/26 but maybe it will take longer. I'm worried that af will come but then I won't o and won't start new af on my own. I don't temp or chart or anything but I'm thinking of trying OPK just to see if I O on my own. I've never used one before, do you think it's a good idea? I know I need the b/w results too, I'm going to call tomorrow morning (Mon) and see if I can get some answers
Well please keep us updated!!!
hi Leah, hope you're doing well. I spoke with the nurse yesterday and she said that my thyroid & pituitary tests came back normal and she said give it a week or so after the provera to give your body a chance to get itself going again. my last pill is tomorrow and she said if I don't start af by the end of next week to schedule an appt to come back in, so you should probably do the same. But I bet your af will start in the next couple days.
I also told her my biggest fear that I won't o and start new cycle on my own after this one, she said not to worry that it WILL start etc, gave me confidence that everything will be fine. I know it's hard, but she said try not to think about it much, don't use OPK's or temp, try not to read too much stuff etc. I know it's good advice, I'm going to try it and see what happens this month.
wishing you luck!!
Good information! I still haven't gotten it. But I have all the symptoms that I will as well as spotting (just brown though). It's hard not to worry that you will not get it because it's been so long since I have, you know. I have decided that if I don’t get it by Friday I will call my MD and make an appt for next week. I am just so frustrated….I want so badly to get pg and actually have a chance to ttc that I am probably killing my chances. I am trying to have a good mentality about the whole thing and just relax, but it's hard when you don't know what the heck is going on with your body! Anyways, good luck, keep me posted!
hi Leah! I'm trying to stay off the boards more to get my mind of things but was just checking in to see how you're doing. no af yet? uggh I'm sorry, but it's good that you have the signs that it will be coming soon. I don't know how it is at your dr's office, but if it's tough to get an appt maybe call now to schedule it for the end of next week just in case it doesn't come by then so you won't have to wait. and if it comes you can cancel... just a suggestion, but maybe you have a great dr and can get in easily. mine is closed on Fridays and it's hard to get an appt so I try to plan ahead when I can
well I'm going to keep checking in on you. Today is my last day of provera thank goodness, looking forward to starting fresh. I know you are too
hey maybe we'll both get lucky first month off provera, I hope so!!! Wishing you lots o luck!!!
