How long does it take your period to come
on when you're taking Provera?

When I was on Provera I didn't have a
period at all. After surgery (which I took
the provera to prepare for it) I was on
Provera and another hormone pill to get
the period started again. So basically I
had to have another pill to get mine
started back up again. But maybe that's
just the route my specialist goes....who
knows. Sorry if this doesn't help much. I
just know I had a lot of side-effects on
provera that I wasn't supposed to have,
hopefully that doesn't happen to you
(besides weight gain, I had hot flashes
like you wouldn't believe, migraines,
shrinkage of the vagina, etc.)

It all depends. You can never tell.
I've take provera many times before (as
well as prometrium) and it has effected my
differently everytime.
This last time (just this month) I was
rxed a 14 day cycle (horrid) and actually
started af on day 12. So you just never
know. In the past though it is normally
2-3 days after my last pill. Unless it
doesn't start at all....
Good luck. I hope the side effects have
been minimal!

Thanks! I've have dizziness and
headaches! Not fun. Today I took my last
pill. I hope it comes on soon because I'm
ready to start taking this birth control
and get it over with for 6 months. I was
to ttc again. I missed it a lot these
pass ohh 4 months.

Why do you have to take birth control? If
you don't mind me asking.

Does she know you are ttc?
I've heard of taking it for 2-3 months to
regulate your cycle. Or maybe you have a
cyst that they are trying to shrink?

That is why they gave you birth control.
The only way to treat pcos is birth
control. So if you aren't ttc, you should
be on birth control. But if you want to
ttc, birth control isn't in your best
interest. Are you ttc?

how can you treat pcos when you're ttc?
yes I am or was ttc but since i stopped
ovulating i figure there was no chance and
it would be pointless for me to continue.

It depends on the severity. There are a
few different meds that you can be put on
to help with symptoms and to make you
ovulate. If you have already been
diagnosed, you could probably just call
them and tell them you want a prescription
for something. (probably like Metformin,
and clomid or femera) They might want to
see you, but I can't see them making you
do to many test if you have already been
diagnosed.
