Cycles induced with Provera--a little TMI, depending on the person

Hello. I was hoping for some input. I started taking Provera 3-2-16, CD1 was 3-11-16. I do not have periods often at all, but when I did have them they were typically short, 3-4 days. I'm going on CD8 now and am still bleeding moderately heavy. I'm super nervous it will not stop and I will not be able to track ovulation or BD this cycle.

    I also just started inducing periods with provera. During my first one I bled for 8 days non stop super heavy to the point of I was going through 10+ super thick over night pads a day and had to wake up twice at night to change it so I didn't leak. the cramps were hell. And I had two days where I couldn't stand for more then a half hour or I got so dizzy I fell because my iron was so low. I think it's from not having a period regularly that they are so bad but over time they should mellow out. If your worried about it call your doctor and talk to her about it. But I've heard that heavy periods are common for provera

    @hlynch33 Any luck with AF ending? I'm on CD 6 after Provera and still bleeding heavily. I just want it to end! I have an hsg this coming Tuesday and even though it's Wednesday now, I'm worried I'll still have it by then and won't be able to get it done. FX yours has ended.

    @mrsdaddario mine did end on CD9, I still spotted a little for a couple days after though. But I have not gotten a single positive OPK yet :( I talked with the Dr. again today and they upped my clomid dose to 100 for next month. FX for you that everything goes as you'd like!!

    Ditto what has been said...I was super irregular and still am. My first and some of my later periods with Provera caused super periods..lots of bleeding and lots of days. Now I often have shorter or super light periods when on Provera to cause my period. My lining has been good regardless od light or heavy. Best of luck!
