Provera to induce period

Women's health

Hi all!

I’ve been having issues with my periods since last January, when I started getting severe pelvic pain exactly 2 weeks before every period. They’ve always been very irregular but I’m currently having the longest cycle since I had my son 3 yrs ago. I’ve been diagnosed with secondary infertility and am under investigation due to lumps on my cervix and enlarged ovaries.

My gyny gave me Provera in December to induce a bleed (take for 5 days). I had hoped it would come naturally but I haven’t had a period now for 5 months, so decided to start the Provera on Sunday.

Problem is I’ve had severe cramping since yesterday and I’m absolutely exhausted - can barely stand up or keep my eyes open by 6pm.

Is this usual to feel this way? I wasn’t advised of any side effects so wasn’t sure what to expect!

I used to have the same issue. Unfortunately, Provera hasn’t helped ( The only thing that worked was hystero-laparoscopy. But I tried to conceive, so it was justified in my case, probably. But taking any hormones to trigger menstruation didn’t work.
