Provera and no AF

May 21, 2008

DR. Q-

I took provera for 10 days. I am 14 days past the last pill taken and still did not get AF. What could be the reason for this? What could be done to help me get it? When I told the nurse about this she said that she would have to see what the doctor says about it and I haven't heard back so I was just wondering what your thoughts on this were. Thanks!

You most likely had nothing to bleed out as AF, and this would be the case if you haven't had any uterine surgeries and have had regular periods as of recently and never experienced hot flashes..

May 21, 2008

Thanks Dr. Q!

May 27, 2008

same thing happened to me ethie, doc said to start clomid anyway, so im taking tab nbr 2 2nite.

are you waiting to start clomid?

May 28, 2008

yeah I guess I am waiting... today makes it 20 days after the last pill of provera and still no af not even a sign that it's coming and my doctor won't tell me what to do next. so you started the clomid then without getting af?

May 29, 2008

yeah period didnt come within 5 days so started clomid. i take last tablet 2moro, go to see gyno in the morning to see if follicles are maturing. i find i had to really state what i wanted and ask heaps of questions, he (doc) now is acting really fast. it is great

May 29, 2008

Hey Jules hope your follies are maturing nicely whn you see your gyno 2morro....semding you loads of ****baby dust****

May 30, 2008

Well hopefully my doc does something soon! Good luck at the doc today and i hope they are maturing!

May 30, 2008

hi ladies!!! well went to doc yesterday and nothing is maturing! he was a bit shocked and asked me if i have been taking the 100mg a day, and i hadnt, i had been taking 50!!!! my prescription said ONE tablet a day for 5 days (was ment to take 2). so pharmacy screwed it up, doc wanted there name and date i got it, he was angry. anyway, i am now on FSH 50m injections for 5 days, today is day 2 and i see him for another scan on the 4th day to see if anything happening this time, he said after this FSH round (if it doesnt work) he wants me to take the propper 100mg of clomid!!

so yeah i bit of a wasted week, but fingers crossed tuesday brings some good news!!!

May 31, 2008

Wishing you luck Jules....I can totally relate to the wasted week feeling....sending you a big big hug

May 31, 2008

I am so sorry that that happened! At least the doctor isn't giving up hope! I will keep you in my prayers and I really hope tuesday brings you really good news!! sending lots and lots of ****baby dust**** keep me updated!!

May 31, 2008

hey ethie and flutter, thanx for your kind words. OK, to add yet another spinner to the works............. i got my period yeasteday at around 2pm!!!!!!! (first one in 6mths) so im guessing the provera did work but it just took 10 days for period to arrive! but now im on day 3 of injections to promote follicle growth and am in the middle of AF!!!! so bizzar, i wonder what the doc will do about this one! LOL. i do know that women get pergnant after a period, if they have short cycles but im just affraid that if i do indeed, get preg my endometrium wont be thick enough to sustain the pregnancy.

will can doc in the morn to see what he thinks!!!!!! thanx for ya thoughts girls!!!x

May 31, 2008

doc Q, any ideas on this one?

May 31, 2008

Regardless of the flow...With enough FSH, it'll stop the flow and create follicular growth and stop the AF and allow you to get pregnant...

thanx doc Q!! im taking shots for 5 days, on the 5th day b4 i take FSH i see the doc for ultrasound. hope the dose 50mg is enough to get things started!!!

June 04, 2008

Wow jules that is crazy! So when are you going for the ultrasound then?? I really hope this works and you find out your preggo!! Still no af here it was been 27 days since the last pill I took and I don't even feel like AF is coming?! Good luck and keep the updates coming!! ***baby dust***

June 05, 2008

Hi!!! so the app was put back till 2moro morning coz doc said was no point doing ultrasound as follicles prob wont be doing anything during my period. 2moro is day 8 of taking the shots, but if it didnt count taking it with period 2moro is only day 2!! :0(

doc said he doesnt think much would have changed to follicles, but im hoping we see some sort of growth!!!!! the injections are so easy and hardley hurt at all, from what i have read the FSH shots seem to be one of the best methods to kick start ovulation. i hope he keeps me on them, if not i gotta take "propper" (100mg not 50) course of clomid, wich isnt a bad thing either i guess. anyway will update 2moro nite.

Ethie.....have you talked to doc about not getting AF??

June 05, 2008

Wow see I wish my doc would do even half of that! She just puts me on clomid and sends me on my way. I have called her a few times about not getting AF yet and she is not returning my phone calls... I think she just doesn't know what to do with me. But there really isn't anything I can do about it now since I am leaving for vacation on saturday so I guess we will see how things play out. I heard the fsh shots are big in helping with ovulation. Well good luck and I have my fingers crossed for ya!!

June 06, 2008

Hi!!! wooohooo hoildays!! you lucky thing, a bit of R&R can work wonders.

ok, so went to doc this morn, not expecting much BUT turns out i have 8, yes...8, follicles due to be ovulated sunday or monday!!! and my left ovary has about 4, but they smaller.

I was strongley advised to not "try" 4 a baby this cycle as i have an extremley high chance of conceiving multiples!! im happy to not try!!!! last thing i want is to get preg with 4 babies and miscarry or suffer health problems.

im just over the moon that the meds DO work. when af arrives im going to take 100mg of clomid to see if that works also as it is not as potent as FSH injections. if not at least i know can always go back to FSH.

have a great holiday!!! were you going??

June 06, 2008

OMG 8!! Thats awesome! I guess that stuff really does work! lol Have you had a problem with ovulation before? I would def. be listening to the doc about not trying! I think 2 would be hard enough to carry especially since I am only 5' tall. I am very happy for you that the meds helped! Things are looking up!!

Thanks... we are in charleston, sc because my dh is in the military so we are taking a trip back to our hometown buffalo, ny for 2 weeks and spending some time up at Niagara falls for our anniversary!

June 07, 2008

Niagara Falls, that'd be beautiful!!! how long have you been together? i live up the top of Australia, in the tropics. it is amazing, no massive waterfalls but beaches to die for!!!

i only got PCOS after miscarriage last november, i also got diagnosed with underactive thyroid!! i have never had an issue with my cycle until then. was always 29 days, i got pregnant within 5 weeks of being off the pill.

why do you think my ov tests arnt showing up positive yet? the second line is so faint!!! hopefully i do ovulate!, i can feel constant ov pains for 2 days now.

My husband said we should tempt fait, just once, like BDing 2nite, but i just dont think its a good idea, tis hard to know you ovulating and cant BD!!!!! lol.

i go on holidays to see my family in Alice Springs (middle of aust) in 3.5 weeks so we dont think there is much point taking clomid until after i come back. it would be really nice to get my BFP in the next 6 mths :0) Hopefully your time away recharges your body also for your BFP.

June 09, 2008

niagara falls is beautiful!! I have always wanted to go to australia it must be gorgeous!! we have been together for 6 years but married for two now.

I am so sorry about your loss! That is crazy... are you on metformin? I am always regular as well... 28 days and now all the sudden late. I am pretty sure I ovulated around may 19th because I was having cramping and loads of ewcm but if that is the case I would have gotten af around the 3rd of june and haven't even felt like its coming. in fact had a few signs of pregnancy... nausea, heartburn, foods i love can't even look at, and my bbs grew a cup size but I keep getting negatives.

I have no idea why you wouldn't have gotten a positive yet.... with all those follicles and the shots I dont see how you wouldn't. I could only imagine what your going through. That would kill me not being able to bd knowing there would be a good chance of it happening! I would be going crazy! I definitely think you will get preggo soon! let's hope that our vacations help the both of us.

June 10, 2008

hey!! yeah im on metformin 1000mg a day. have lost 6kg already and i didnt even have weight issue to start with. i go through stages of not eating, like losing appetite completley!!! tis crazy.

i rang the doc this morn coz since friday the ov pains have been quite painful, my nipples are so so sore and so much EWCM. but 2day symptoms have nearly gone, little to no ov pains, nipples still bit tender and EWCM is much less. the thing is i did ov test yesterday morn at 11am and it was so so close to positive, i only had one test left so used it 2day and the line is lighter than yestarday!! the doc said i would have ovulated yesterday and thats why synptoms are so much less now.

so no Bd till 2moro, have been waiting 6mths to ovulate and couldnt BD, but im fine with it. just gald the constant nagging, heavy pain in my right side (ovary with 8 follicles) has gone.

so after your holiday are you going to do clomid again?

June 20, 2008

Oh wow bless your heart! That pain must have been intense! Its crazy how that happens... you've been waiting to ovulate and then when you do you can't bd! So after af comes what is the doc going to do next for you?

I don't know if I am going to take it or not. I still have not had af. I called my doc and we are guessing ovulation happened on or around may 19th but all the hpts are still negative?! This is crazy! When I get back home from the vacation I'm going to go in for some tests.

October 02, 2008

Ethie- i to am taking Provera to jump start my periods after my m/c. I was wondering if u ever did get af back? Im only taking 5 porvera pills so i really hope it works for me.
