Has anyone ever gone on
medroxyprogesterone to start their period?
I am late and my doc is putting me on
this to start my cycle. There are some
bad warnings out there about the med so it
makes me really nervous to start it, but I
need to know my schedule.
Also, last night I started having sharp
pains in my side, down real low and they
have continued into today. Is this odd?
Dh and I are still doing the bd every
other day so I am hoping to concieve any
time.
Thanks for you help.

How late are you to start your period?
Why are you late? Bcp? Mc? Or you don't
know? I don't know anything about
medroxyprogesterone but i'm just
interested and wanted to say good luck. I
had the same pains you did (not preggers,
just ttc) and why would you try to
conceive if starting something to make you
get your period? Sorry if that sounded
health forum. Really just wondering. Is
that safe? I hope you get lots of
babydust. If I had any i'd send you some
of mine.

Thanks for the reply. We have been ttc
for six months and my cycle has been 30
days, with one missed early on. I'm on
day 37 now and called doc yesterday and
she said to take these so I can start my
period so I can hopefully ovulate. I did
ask if we should stop ttc while taking
this and she said no?
These drugs are in the x category though
so it scares me. She tried to assure me
that since no period no ovulating so it
woulnd't be harmful to me.
Baby dust to you caracook!

What does it mean that they're in the x
category? I'm not into taking a lot of
meds so i'm clueless.

I'm not real sure either.
Pharmacist just said it was in the x
category and that is the highest for birth
defects. I have decided not to take it
b/c I am in the sixth month of ttc and
that just makes me too nervous. Maybe
after a year if we have not conceived I
will.
