FINALLY after 105 days with no period, my doctor has agreed to prescribe provera! Anyone ever used…

I’ve heard 50/50 on all the birth control pills. I think i might try it tho

@kellynicole, do you have problems with your period?

@devd92, no

I went 142 days without a period once and was given provera to get my period but since I wanted to have a baby they only had me do it for a month. After that I went on metformin because they told me I had PCOS after 8 months on metformin we finally got pregnant. Idk if that’s what you’re wanting but that’s what worked for me.

I just finished my last pill on July 5th! Now I’m waiting for the bleeding to start!!!

@raqueliiosiis, so the provera didn’t help, the metformin did?

@gaga123, oh wow how exciting! Did you have any weird side effects?

Ummm when I finished all 10 I started having sore boobs, other than that not really

@gaga123, have you used this before?

Yes I have, a few times now

@gaga123, and it’s brought your period every time?

Yes every time within 3 to 6 days after

@gaga123, that’s awesome! Did you stay on a regular cycle after taking provera?

No, I have stubborn PCOS! So I used provera to induce a period then use femera and injectables

@gaga123, oh really? That’s horrible. I’m

Sorry!

Yeah, infertility sucks

@devd92, sorry I just saw this and no it didn’t help at all. THe metformin is what helped me. In the 8 months I was on metformin my periods came every single month and once it didn’t come it was because I was pregnant.

@raqueliiosiis, oh wow really?! That awesome! So it took you 8 months to conceive then? Or did you try prior to the metformin?

@devd92, we had been trying for almost three years with no luck. And as cliche as it sounds we had given up when I went on metformin. We never prevented it but I stoped temping and charting and I stopped the OPKs. After 8 months of being on metformin it happened on it’s own. Honestly I didn’t even think I was pregnant I just thought I probably needed to up my dosage because my period was late but my husband convinced me to take a pregnancy test.

@raqueliiosiis, oh my gosh that’s crazy!! How exciting though!!

@devd92, thank you! Yes it was such a miracle because we had already been told that we would only be able to conceive with IVF. You should talk to your doctor, I will warn you I had to do a lot of lab work and a few different paps to finally be diagnosed with PCOS. I read up on it and metformin seemed like the most logical thing for myself.

@raqueliiosiis, that’s good for you to be an advocate for your own wants and needs in your healthcare! Good for you

@devd92, thanks it was a struggle and a lot of crying and yelling at the Drs lol but we made it happen. I also read up on your previous post and I will say I too had the nexplanon for all 3 years and it was hell to get my period. Good luck! I hope the provera works for you!

@raqueliiosiis, oh wow you had the nexplanon too!! I think that was the worst decision I could’ve made unfortunately.
