Body Not Responding to Provera............ Posted: 01-12-06 19:56pm
I've new here tonight, and wanted to share
my experince as being diagnosed w/seconday
amerronhea. I'm 27 yrs old. I went
off the pill in april after being on it
since I was 17-18 yrs old. Finally the
doctor decided for me to try provera.
I have taken it about 2-3 wks ago and
nothing yet. So I called the doctor
and she said let's give it another week.
I also had a high prolactin level of 140
(normal range 1.8-1) which dropped to
normal after d/c the birth control. If
you have a high prolactin level theres an
indication of a pitutary tumor. (i
have an mri for the last pasts 2 yrs and
it they come back negative). (thank
god). Also after d/cing the birth
control I lost 25 lbs. So now i"m not
responding to the provera, I also have had
pelvic & transvaginal ultrasound and
it came back negagtive. So i'm going
to give it another week, and get bloodwork
tomorrow at work. Has anyone ever
experience a problem like this or
similar???? It's really frustrating
and stressful. All I want to do is be
able to have a healthy baby. I get so
depressed thinking I will not be able to
conceive............ :( :( :( :(

Hi Posted: 01-20-06 22:59pm
:d
i went through a successful pregnancy last
year and although my infertility problem
is different. I say dont give up hope
and be patient. There are so many
differebt drugs out there and it may take
a few tries to get you on the right med.
You may talk to your fertility specialist
about starting on gonal f or consider
doing an iui cycle. Hope this helps.

I am having similar problems. I conceived
in jul 04 and had a successful pregnancy
with baby born mar 05. I am just now
trying again and in oct my period
disappeared and never came back. Doc
prescribed provera and that worked... 3
days after completion period came. (they
may need to up your dosage or have you
take it 2x's day) but every test I use to
test for ovulation is not detecting
anything. I dont think I am producing
enough of the lh hormone to signal
ovulation. I feel so helpless.
Like you, I was on the pill since 17 and I
am 25 now.
I hope you get good news soon...

Re Not Responding to Provera... Posted: 01-23-06 22:56pm
Hi
its good to know that other people are
going through the same thing as you..I
also have secondary amenorrhea but mine is
because I use to work out so much and I
lost a lot of weight 4 years ago..(and got
into bodybuilding.). My body just stopped
producing hormones!! I havent had a
period in almost 4 years!! The doctor put
me on provera and it didnt work!! I guess
because I don't have any estrogen and
provera is a progesterone..So now they are
putting me on estrodiol (an estrogen) and
than provera... And that is suppose to
make me bleed.. But im also very
frustrated and concerned!! I have been
trying desperatly to conceive for a long
time and I fear I will never be able
to...I don't know if its possible?
