PCOS: provera and ovulation ?

I have been taking provera for 4 days (today will be day 5).  FF just gave me ovulation 6 days ago when I entered my temp this morning.  Has this ever happened to any one else?

It's been hard to see any kind of pattern to my temps this cycle (on cd 83 I think) because it's been so long and rocky.  I'm also wondering if I should stop the provera now since I ovulated and just wait out the 2ww?

    Provera makes your temp rise artificially, so it's just from that not ovulation.  I always stop temping when I start provera.

    Aha!  I've never taken it before, so I didn't realize. I've been marking that I'm taking it on FF.  I guess I'll take the crosshairs off.

     Thanks!

    No problem- good luck!  Provera makes me have AMAZING sleep- I think my body craves that progesterone!

    It happened to me this cycle, I just overrode FF to take out the crosshairs.

    Same answer as the other ladies.  But I did keep temping while I took Provera just to see what my temps would be like with progesterone in my system.

    My  RE says that if you have PCOS and irregular cycles that temping is almost a waste of time as to its accuracy.  I have not been checking my temp.

    As for Provera, this is my 2nd and yeah-the sleep is amazing!  Although I do feel more fatigued too.  I swear I was gonna die during my morning workout!
