Hi I went to my gyno I have irregular
period and I have been trying to concieve.
I went in she said to take these pills
medroxyprogesterone for 3 months 1 pill a
day for 10 days out of a month. She said
she is using it to regulate my period.
How long do you think it will take for
this to work and is this medication work?
Have you ever heard of it helping women
get prego? I have asked before but I need
a differnt opinion
thank you

My doctor perscribed this medication to me
for one month to induce a period because I
had not had a period for 5 months. I
was only able to tolerate taking it for 7
days though because I got very bad
headaches from taking it. Even though
I only took it for 7 days, I still had a
period. The way my doctor explained
it to me was that this drug would induce a
period, but not directly cause me to
ovulate. But if your period becomes
more regular and you ovulate on a more
regular basis than it may be easier to get
pregnent. I have not had a period in 5
months, so the doctor explained to me that
unless I start having a period naturally,
I would have to take a fertility drug like
clomid to get pregnent because that shows
that I am not ovulating at all.

Hey,
i am new to this site as well. I have
talked to a doctor about bringing on a
period. My understanding is that
progesterone will bring on a period if you
are not getting one at all. I hope this
helps. I haven't had one in two months
and I am just waiting another week until I
take a progesterone supplement.

I have pcos...I don't ovulate at all and
have gone as long as 12 mths without
having one. The dr put me on pro. To
have a period. They were doing it once
every 3 mths. But the peroids were so
aweful like that I just went on the pill
to have one every mth. And it's not bad
at all and lasts no more than 4
days.......I have to have an hsg done and
then the Dr. Is starting me on clomid
which we have been waiting for for over a
year. Good luck to you.
