Hi,

My doc just put me on Provera to bring on AF, my cycle has been 55 days now. Today I took my temp, it jumped way up. Is this normal??

Here is my chart:

Hi, Suzie,

Yes, it is normal for your temp to jump on Provera. I am currently taking it and my temp went from 97.2 to 97.9 after the first pill and is now at 97.7. I have taken it once before and it jumped then, too.

Progesterone is the hormone that takes over once you O and causes the temp shift, so the same thing happens on Provera even though you didn't O. At least, I think this is what happens because it happens to me.

GL! Hope your new cycle is a winner!

It's totally normal - and expected - to see a temp jump while on progesterone. I've been on progesterone twice, and I just stop taking my temp altogether while taking the pills.

Good luck to you!
