Provera Question

in Infertility

So my last cycle was canceled and I took a 10 day perscription of provera starting on cd17.  Since that time, I have decided to put TTC on hold for a few months to loose weight.  We will probably not resume treatment until August/September. 

AF has not arrived yet.  My nurse has suggested that if I don't have AF by next week (2 weeks after the last pill) I should come into the office for bloodwork.  Since we're not doing anything this cycle- is it really necessary? It's my understanding I'd be starting provera (after u/s b/w) before starting a cycle anyway. 

 What do you think?  Do I need to go in now, or should I wait until we are ready to start again.

    If you do not get AF after 14 days you need to tell your RE.  He may want to do b/w.  Also, call your RE and tell them you are planning a break. 

    If you are taking provera before beginning the next medicated cycle does that mean you do not get AF on your own?

    I'm PCOS and it's been  along time since I got AF on my own.  They know I'm planning a break, and that's why I was wondering if it is medically necessary to have AF right now. 

    DH is on meds that cause serious issues for TTC.  We couldn't get pregnant on clomid, so I highly doubt we could do it on our own, but I'm not taking the chance so we are using condoms.

    I'm also PCOS and I *never* get my period on my own.  my RE will not let me go more than 90 days without a period.

    If you do not get a period after taking Provera, you will need b/w because you should be getting one from the progesterone withdrawal. 

    they will give you provera again when you start medicated cycles because you need to have medications and monitoring on specific CD.  Where CD does not matter while on a break, you still need to know how long it's been since your last period because it is unhealthy to go too long without a period.
