I read a lot about medroxyprogesterone my doctor gave it to me due to spotting in between periods and bleeding during and after sex. He stated it wasn't a birth control pill and for me to check to see if i was pregnant every month before I started taking the med ever month.

I asked my doctor doctor if this med would help me ovulate and he said once i lost a couple of pounds I would start to ovulate, but I have read that this medication can prevent ovulation, and my husban and I are trying to concive. inlove rainbow

what I was wondering does medroxyprogesterone prevent ovulation? Question

PREGNANCY: Medroxyprogesterone prevents fertility at high doses. It should not be given during pregnancy.

my doctor gave me this medication to regulate my period as well. I started the 1st of April and experienced spotting, but still had a normal period. May was a normal period month as well and i was excited because its been a long time since i had a normal period. However, it is June and i have not seen my period and i am taking my pills and is on day 8 of them. was never told to take a pregnancy before taking the pills every month. Now i don't know what to do.

Same with me they never told me to take a pregnancy test before taking the meds. My husband and I have not used any protection for 9 years and we were hoping for one more baby but then I started having problems with my period and also I have a thicker lining than I should so she put me on Medroxyprogesterone for 10 days and that is it I dont have to take it monthly. But noticed I have bad cramping in front and in my lower back did you notice these things as well? No spotting or bleeding yet should there be? I thought there was suppose to be.

Medroxyprogesterone
This medication is usually given to women that have irregular periods; a heavy flow, or no flow at all. It causes you to have your period. So NO it does not cause ovulation, but your body may just be different and decide to ovulate anyway. If you ask your pharmacist they can help you. You begin ovulation usually around day 14 of your period; day 1 is the day your period begins. You may see spotting while taking the pills but shouldn't recieve your period until after day 10 of taking them; when you are done. Then your period may not come for a few more days up to 10 days. Does this help?
