Pregnant while taking Provera

Hi all. I am new to this board, but was recently on the TTGP board under a different sign on name (it was too close to my real name). I posted there about stopping BCP in June after being on them for 10 years. After stopping, I didn't get a period for seven months, so my doc prescribed Provera. I took my first round of Provera in January and got my withdrawal bleed on the first day of my last pill of the med. I then had all of the testing done (cd 3 labs, vaginal US, and cd 21 progesterone level). Lab work was normal but US and progesterone level showed that I was not ovulating.

 So, then I saw my doc again at the end of February and she wanted me to take another round of Provera, and then start Clomid on cd 3 to help induce ovulation. I took a pregnancy test before staring my second round of Provera, and it was negative. After finishing the five days of the course of Provera, I assumed I would start bleeding right away, but after five days of not starting my period and noticing my boobs were very full feeling, I decided to take a HPT and it was positive.

Now, I'm nervous bc I know you aren't supposed to take Provera while pregnant. And of course, I googled adverse reactions and such and said taking Provera while pregnanct (especially in the first four months) can lead to genital abnormalities in the unborn child. I have my first appt with a nurse at my doctors office next week to go over family history, get labs drawn, and such and then meeting with my doc the following week, so I know I can voice my concerns then. But until then, I'm just looking for support or words of wisdom from anyone who has experienced this! Thank u.

I got pregnant while taking provera as well. I had surgery to remove a septum and then took 28 days of Estrogen and 10 days of provera. No period for 5 days, took a PG test, and here I am!

Congrats on BFP! Your story is almost identical to my good friend, and she was also worried about Provera. Talk to your doctor and PP's advice is a positive way to look at the situation!

My friend had a healthy pregnancy and now a baby girl!
