AF and Provera

dancersposedancerspose member
in Trouble TTC

For those of you who have taken a course of Provera to bring on AF, what was your timeline?  I had a 10 day course of Provera and was told AF would come 2-3 days after finishing that.  It's been just over 2 weeks since I started the drug, but nothing yet.  Was it 5-6 days for some of you? 

I'm really anxious because I haven't been able to finish my testing without getting AF (it's been over 2 months since I had a period).

Thanks all!

Cycle 1 (Dec. 2014) TI with Clomid, Trigger, & Progesterone CX due to no response
Impatiently Waiting CD1 to try again with Fermara Back on the bench due to giant cyst,
who know I'd ovulate on my own after a cancelled cycle and end up with a mega cyst :(

    I took Provera once and I started a period about 3 days later. Last time I took prometrium (similar) and I didn't start a period until 11 days later. My RE said to call after 14 days from stopping the pills if nothing has happened. I understand the waiting is frustrating!

    It was almost 2 weeks after the last pill for me to get my period with Provera.  With Prometrium, its about 3-4 days after the last pill.

    Wow, that is frustrating.  The one time I took progesterone to start my period, After about 7 days (of a 10 day supply), my period started.  But my doctor said it could take 3-4 days after completion for it to start.

    I didn't have af for 4+ months and I took the provera, 10 days and af was usually the right on day 10 of the pills. After 2 rounds of the provera, af came by itself. I know everyone is different but hopefully for you too it won't take long for your cycles to get regular. Just one less med to take but it makes the world of difference :) also agree with Naria, I would call if af isn't here and see that they say.

    Thanks ladies.  When I spoke with the nurse from my RE office when the doc decided to call it in she made it sounds like it would really only be 2-3 days after I stopped the pills.  I figure I'll wait until tomorrow or Friday, since I took the last pill last Thursday night, and call if there's still nothing.  I don't want to be a crazed person who calls the moment something doesn't happen just the way they said, but I definitely also hate this waiting!
