Provera and Pregnancy..??

Alright, i know i'm obsessing a bit. I just read an article about a lady who was precribed Provera to induce her period, but then it ended up that she was pregnant, and that's why her AF was a no show. I read that there are some very slight chances of birth defects to babies exposted to Provera.

Has anyone ever been on Provera, only to learn that they were in fact pregnant?

Just curious.

Thanks

This hasn't happened to me, but I don't know about birth defects linked to Provera. Provera is progesterone - albeit synthetic - and we all should have high progesterone levels post-O. Some women even use progesterone suppositories for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Good luck to you!
