? for anyone who has taken Provera
| Tue, 09-09-2003 - 10:05am |
Since I know I'm not pg I can't obsess about that right now and since I know that AF is all screwed up I'm stuck in a waiting pattern so now I'm obsessing about this Provera and cycle #2. lol ;) For anyone who has been on Provera before, what was the cycle after Provera like? Any better? Any worse? I'm so afraid that after AF does show up I could be stuck in the same boat next cycle sitting around on cd43 with another round of BFNs and no AF in sight.
Does having to use the Provera this cycle mean that I did not O? or just that I didn't wait around long enough to see when AF might have come (if ever)? I thought I knew when I O'd last month but now it's pretty obvious that I was wrong. If I had O'd when I thought I did AF should have come 14 days later shouldn't it? It worries me that maybe I didn't O at all.
I know I'm worrying too much but a girls' gotta have something to obsess about, right? lol

I haven't been on Provera, but I have been on a generic progesterone as well as Prometrium brand of progesterone in order to induce AF. My AF was induced by progesterone in May after a 184 day cycle. I took pills for 10 days, three days later I got a period, albeit a light one. My doctor was hoping this would "kick-start" my system, and I waited for my next AF. The next AF didn't arrive for 42 days. After that AF, I had my first IF consult, had another progesterone-induced AF, and started on Clomid to induce ovulation.
If you had O'ed last month, then you would have gotten AF (or a BFP) at about the time expected. I'm sorry, but you probably didn't O. One suggestion: consider charting your temps. I know that you're early in the game, but charting your temps will enable you to definitively tell your doctor that you are not ovulating (otherwise, most don't want to talk to you about infertility until you've been TTC for a year). Check out the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler; it's a great resource.
Good luck to you!

I was wondering, were you on bcp at all before you started having problems with AF? I was always regular before I went on bcp so I'm hoping that will work in my favor.
I've been on the fence about temping and charting but I guess I better start in case I end up having O problems. From what I've seen from my doctor so far he's seems to be pretty proactive so maybe if I still have O problems in the next few months he'll go ahead and start treating me instead of making me wait a year.
Thanks again for the advice!

Good luck with your Provera cycle! (And beware pg symptoms... the Provera will probably give you sore bbs & nipples, etc.)

I am 30 & was on Loestrin BCP for 11 yrs. I went off in April, got AF, then nothing until Aug 19 after being on Prometrium for 10 days.I felt like I O'd right before I went to the DR but if I had I think I would have gotten AF earlier than I did.
I am so glad that I bit the bullet and called my Dr. We weren't going to TTC yet, just wanted to get "ready." I never expected this at all and do not know anyone personally that this has happened to...all my friends were regular right away.
I had all the preliminary hormone tests to see if I am menopausal and all were "normal". I don't think that's really reliable until they do it at a certain time of your cycle. My TSH (thyroid)was 4 which Drs consider normal.I think that if I don't get AF again this cycle I am going to persue the thyroid thing a little more. 4 seems a little higher than I should be so maybe that's the problem.
I am on CD22 and I feel like I O'd sometime in the past few days. It's hard to tell, I feel some different cramps but I haven't O'd in 11 years so I am not sure what it feels like and when they should occur. Before BCP I was regular and as much as I can remember, my cycles were on the long side, 30-35 days I think.
I wish I could tell you what cured me but I'm probably still messed up this cycle.I have done A LOT of research for us though! I am taking 800 mcg (or mg?) of Vitex daily (2 pills) to see if that helps. I have comfort in my Drs appt on Oct 10 so I know that whatever does or doesn't happen this month I can do SOMETHING about it soon.
Unfortunately, we may just have to wait it out. They say that eventually your cycles return to normal eventually. Then the pessimist in me says "If you are normal!" and maybe I have had problems that were masked by BCP.
