Provera sounds like the second half of Depo Provera, and that is an injection form of birth control. There is a pill version as well. Yes, its primary function is to prevent pregnancy. I'm on Depo Provera myself. Provera is made of a derivative of progesterone, so if you get migraines, this particular form of hormonal birth control is perfect for you.

PROVERA is a hormone used to "JUMP START" A womans period.

It is NOT birth control, and should not be used as such.
