Provera and my mood?

Lemon81

After my miscarriage in October, my cycle came back pretty normal in November and again in December. Well, I am on cycle day 51 now. My doctor prescribed me Provera to try to get things going and then see where to go from there. I have been taking it for 3 days now. I am a weepy mess. I cried the whole way home from work today about losing my baby, about feeling like I'll never being able to get pregnant again, about my step-daughter's birthday party that I am planning, and all kinds of crazy stuff. I read that Provera can cause mood swings as a side effect, but wow. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Yep! Totally happened to me a week ago. I was an emotional roller coaster.

Thanks! I am certainly not glad you guys had this problem too, but I am glad to know I am not alone! I am normally very a even-tempered and happy-go-lucky sort of person and I am starting to feel like I am going crazy!

That I'm not sure of. I have never had issues with cycle regularity, so I don't know much about it, I just do what they tell me. They had me come in for a blood pregnancy test. When that was negative, they had me wait a week, use a hpt then call them with the results. At that point the doctor wanted to "break my cycle", then make sure I use an opk to see if/when I'm ovulating. I didn't go back into the office after the blood test, so that was all on the phone.

Sorry :0(

When i had my first mc it was in Aug 2011, Nov came along and i still no AF. I am use to taking provera but that time it was hard because there was a meaning behind it. It wasnt just a regular missed cycle. It was just a reminded that i had a mc and need to bring this af down. Then when i loss my son last Aug 2012 at 21wk I got my AF 6wks later and i was in tears becasue once again i knew i shouldnt have been getting my AF i should still be pregnant. For me it was such a mind and emotional coller coaster..

Sending hugs to you. I have been in those shoes..
