How much is too much provera?

LG2793

So I'm wondering if there is a limit on how much provera you can take. My first cycle after going off BCP was 76 days, cycle 2 lasted 86 days, and I'm currently on cd35 with no signs of ovulation still!

I'm hoping if I just wait it out, maybe I will O on my own, even if that takes 100+ days. Is that dangerous? I just don't want to keep taking meds...

Also, I'm wondering I need to wait a whole year before contacting an RE. I'm 29, but have not ovulated since April, so about 7 months. I don't want to go back to my current obgyn after all the clomid drama (see my old post under username LAL2793), so I don't really have anyone to talk to about this....
Thanks!

I don't suggest waiting over 60 days for your period...

Also, imo, if you've gone 7 months without a confirmed ovulation through temping, then I suggest seeing an RE prior to the 1 year mark. If you aren't ovulating, there is obviously some type of issue going on.

Edit- it is dangerous to go long periods of time without AF - your risk of cancer and several other nasty things increase, which is why it's recommended to seek medical intervention of some sort after 60 days.

Thank you. I'm going to start asking around to see about REs in the Atlanta area. I'm starting to get kinda worried!

I honestly don't know how much is too much because I have not had to take it yet... However, I'm on CD 40 with no end in sight either. I called my OB office and talked to the nurse (whom I know through a friend anyway) and she told me that if I still have nothing by CD 55 to call them and I would start Provera. She asked that I certainly not wait to call AFTER the 60 day mark. This is by far my longest cycle yet in 4 months off BC and pray it doesn't happen again. Good luck to you!
