Trouble TTC

1st time taking Provera-side effects?'s

Hey ladies, I hope your weekend is going well

I was wondering what kind of side effects that you've experienced with Provera, this is my first time ever having to take it. Every morning I seem to be sick to my stomach until I eat breakfast and the little things have really been irritating, along with hunger at times.

I've been taking 10mg at 9 right before bed. DH asked me yesterday when I should expect my period I felt like I couldn't give him a direct answer.

TIA and hope your Sunday is easy and relaxing

Re: 1st time taking Provera-side effects?'s

  • I just got done taking a round of Provera and the only side effect I had was my cramps were more intense than usual. I took my last pill the day before Easter and started spotting the next evening and my period started on Wednesday. However, my period seems to be a little longer than it usually is, but no real side effects. Good luck!

  • I've taken it 3 times. Each time I was super tired and crabby. My period always started 2 days after the last pill when I took the 5 day pills and 4 days after on the 10 day pills.

  • I have taken provera many times to induce a period.  It generally gives me a dizzy/drunk feeling if I don't take it right before bed.  Other than that, I mostly get more intense pms-like symptoms and I generally get my period about 4-6 days after the last pill.

  • I just finished my last pill Thursday and got my period yesterday - although I've never experienced cramping (intense) with past periods, I noticed I started having some light cramping on Friday and then very intense once my period actually came. Now it's calmed down and I'm just bloated. I did have some nausea as well, but it passed pretty quickly.

  • The last time I took it, my period started two days after the 10 pills. My only side effect was my period was super heavy.

  • I just finished my first round of provera on Friday ( I did take when I was 18, with no effects). The side effects I had this time were more intense cramps and a little dizziness. I started spotting today, well late sunday. If I can offer advice from my last time taking it, do not be alarmed by a heavy period. Provera causes your lining to shed and in most cases, the reason for taking provera, our periods do not occur regularly.
