newbie with a Provera ?

kkdavie15

Good morning ladies! Before I ask my newbie question I wanted to say that I have read TCOYF and have been lurking for a few months here.  I've been married for 9 months and we are TTC #1.  Went off BCP Nov 09 and just started charting and TTC this cycle.  I was annovulatory this cycle and went to the Dr. at CD 60.  Thyroid and prolactin tests can back normal and Dr prescribed me Provera (10 mg for 10 days). 

  I am currently on day 8 of taking Provera so I guess my question is... what should I expect? I know that everyone is different but I'll be on vacation this weekend and want to know when I should potentially expect AF to show up.  Thanks so much for your help! I have learned so much already just from lurking!

I haven't taken it before, so I don't have an answer for you...

I just wanted to say Welcome and Good Luck!

You should expect to see AF within 2-14 days of taking your last pill. It takes me exactly 5 days every time.

AF may be heavier due to the length of your last cycle.

Thanks so much! I guess that means I'll have to be prepared to start AF on vacation! Hopefully it gets here soon rather than later so we start again!

My OBGYN told me it would take 7-10 days for AF to show up after provera, but mine didn't start till 14 days after.  My AF was fairly light (even though I had not had a period in 3 months).   Good luck!

I took it for 7 days and got AF 3 days after taking the last pill. AF was a little longer than it usually is, but wasn't too much heavier.

I've taken it twice - the first time I got my period two days after my last pill, and this time it was 3 days after. My period this time isn't any heavier than usual, but last time it was.

Good luck and enjoy the long weekend!
