Length of Period

January 29, 2008

Does the length of your period really indicate anything? In the past my periods have usually lasted 5-7 days, but this time (started after taking provera) my period started Sunday night, was heavy on Monday, and by today has practically stopped. Just wondering if this means anything....

Hi Amanda, usually after Provera the period is lighter because it is just a breakthru bleed to kick start a cycle and not an actual period where u would have a full flow. Its normal because there is not much lining to shed coz, inorder to have a good lining and stuff u shud have ovulated and since u didnt, ur Dr gave u provera.

So... I could possibly still ovulate this month even though my period was so light? I start femara in a couple of days...

Your period is always a consequence of the previous cycle's ovulation. So, current cycle ovulation has nothing to do with the light period. If you ovulate this cycle, ull have a normal period (without provera) if not preggo.
