Cyclic Provera...anyone ever used it monthly?

I, like a lot of us, have used Provera every  60-90 days to bring on a withdrawal bleed from an annovulatory cycle but my new OB wants to try using it every 32 days to see if my body can be tricked into a normal ovulatory cycle.  Has anyone else done this?  Seems very low on the IF treatment options scale so I doubt it but thought I'd check.  Would love to hear your thoughts too even if you haven't done it.

    I did!  A loooooong time ago and not for ttc.  My cycles started going wonky when I was 14 (I suspect partially because I had a ton of stress in my life that year) and just disappeared all together.  Since I was a virgin back then, and obviously not at risk of being pregnant, my gyn at the time thought maybe cyclic provera was the way to go.  From what I remember, she said that it would be a huge issue if I got pregnant since Provera was very dangerous to a developing fetus.  But again, it's over 20 years ago, so.....

    Didn't work.  Eventually went on BCs at 16 and stayed on BCs until I was 30.

    I know someone who I think just started doing this, I was a little surprised since I had never heard of taking it every 30 days rather than every 90 if no AF.

    Well I don't have high hopes honestly.  But it makes sense clinically, if what's missing from my hormones is progesterone...I just don't know that it is the issue and I had labs run so I assume my doc does but she won't return my call (ok, I called yesterday in the late afternoon) and I'm supposed to start taking it tomorrow.
