Provera/newb question

dlphndocdlphndoc member
in Trying to Get Pregnant

Background info:  FF originally gave me CH on CD19 so when I reached CD55 with no AF and no BFP, I called my doc. She told me to POAS. It was neg. I went to her office the following Tuesday and she had me POAS, it was neg. She did an u/s and said there were 2 follies and she thought I had just O'd. She gave me the Rx for Provera and said to call if AF came before the 10 days was up. FF then changed my CH to CD58.

I am now on day 7 of Provera. Yesterday I started to have cramping and other AF symptoms. My question is, should I stop the Provera and let AF come on if she is ready or should I finish out the 10 days and then wait for AF? I've heard it typically takes 3-7 days after stopping Provera before AF starts and I'd honestly prefer to get it sooner rather than later.

    Your Doctor seems to think AF could show before your ten days are over. I would keep on taking the pills, your Dr. knows what she's talking about.

    I am defintiely no expert but I would finish the meds to get AF.  I wouldn't stop with only 3 days of meds left.  Wait it out...

    Yeah, I kind of figured that's what I should do. I'm just anxious to get it over with. We are leaving to go out of country next Friday and I was hoping to not have to deal with AF.

    My doctor told to finish all of the pills even if I started bleeding.

    You could always call your Doctor and just ask. The worst they can tell you is to keep taking them. I am a rule follower though, I try to do everything the way I am told to do it. My last cycle ended in Provera, and this one is quickly headed that way, so I can understand the frustration.

    Always, Always, Always finish out your meds. If something goes wrong before then, call your doctor and let them know. She may not want you to continue taking them if AF shows, but continue taking them until she does and then call the doctor.
