Was prescribed for heavy vaginal bleedingand irregular periods. ## HOW WILL PROVERA HELP ME WITH HEAVY BLEEDING, CLOTTING TAKEN IN CONJUNCTION WITH OVRAL? ## Provera contains a synthetic form of Progesterone, which is a hormone vital to the female menstrual cycle. In many cases, issues such as amenorrhea, PMS, PCOS/PCOD and the symptoms associated with perimenopause/menopause are caused by a deficiency in it. Thus, supplementing it back can help correct the issues. You can learn more Provera details here. Since this one is a synthetic form, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, weight changes and headache. And something such as Ovral is often given to help try to keep your hormones regulated long-term, once you are finished with the Provera. Are there any comments and qu...

Hello All, I have been using femilon since one month... I am experiencing severe hair loss.. I consulted my dermatologist and she told me that if your contraceptive pills contain medroxyprogesterone it triggers hair loss.... so does femilon contain medroxyprogesterone ? ## To be accurate, hair loss can be a side effect of most synthetic hormones and that is what is used in these oral contraceptives. However, it is usually related to the artificial estrogens, not the artificial forms of progesterone, in most people. Femilon contains ehtinylestradiol (an artificial estrogen) and desogestrel (an artificial progesterone). The reason many women suffer hair loss during perimenopause and menopause is due to the fact that their progesterone levels drop off, when they stop ovulating, but their e...

I was just prescribed this medication by my doctor, because of irregular periods. For the past 2 years I have had my period non-stop. It has not regulated or anything so she put me on this medication. What are the long term side effects of this? Does it decrease fertility? What? ## Hello, Lyla! How are you? No, it won't affect future fertility. Actually, this hormone is vital to your ability to get pregnant and maintain a healthy pregnancy to full term. Bleeding like you've been having is usually due to having too much estrogen and not enough progesterone, this is a form of progesterone to replace it for you to try to get the bleeding to stop. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, breast tenderness and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with?

Having problems on this medication and need any information I can get. I have Polycystic ovary syndrome. Can anyone give any advice? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ## Medroxyprogesterone is a form of the hormone Progesterone, which is essential to the female body. What types of problems are you experiencing? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, mood changes, and irregular menstrual bleeding. Ref: Medline Plus Medroxyprogesterone I've been dealing with perimenopause symptoms for years, and I tried a natural form of Progesterone for awhile a few years ago, and it made me miserable. I became very emotional, irritable, it caused me to have spotting almost all the time, and my period cramps were even worse t...

What is the difference between Progesterone supplements and medroxyprogest? I have been on Progesterone supplements for over 2 years and its breaking the bank. Looking for a more affordable alternative. ## Based on my research, significant differences do exist between synthetic (Medroxyprogesterone) and natural progesterone. Natural progesterone duplicates the body's progesterone exactly, causes fewer side effects and can be more consistently utilized by the body. In the case of natural progesterone versus synthetic progestins in hormone replacement, natural does appear to be better. Prescribed dosages also differ in regard to natural and synthetic progesterone. Synthetic progestin is 10 to 100 times as potent as the natural progesterone. This appears to be a tremendous range for so...

I've been taking medroxy for 4 days and the bleeding hasn't stopped is this normal ? I have 6 days left of pills I've been bleeding on and off for 3 months now, it's been more heavier this past week. The bleeding only started when the doctor put me on birth control and now we can't seem to get it to stop ## Have you stopped taking the birth control? And as to the Medroxyprogesterone, it could take 10 days, or more for it to get the bleeding to stop….and it is only going to work if the bleeding is being caused by a lack of progesterone being produced by your body. You may actually need estrogen, as well, to get it to stop. What type of doctor are you seeing for this issue?

I am 67 and had light spotting a couple of times so went to doctor for check up. All was normal. He prescribed the medroxypr PC 10 mg tab for 14 days and when I stop it let him know if it makes me start me start a period. Reading all the notes - why would he me something to make me start - He said it would stop me from spotting. At this point I've been having a period for about 10 days (fairly heavy) with no signs of stopping. Will this finally stop on its own? ## Hello, Nett! How are you?

I've been on medroxy for 3 years but stopped in oct 2013. I got a new doctor who put me back on march 2014, I started at 60mg a day because I bleed and don't come off my period. I got down to 40mg the week before last. Last week I started the 20mg. I had intercourse for the first time in a year on 4/5. Everything was fine. I had intercourse on 4/12. On 4/14 I started bleeding and have not stopped. My bleeding is increasing. My doctor told me to up it to 40mg again. In the past was only on 5mg at the most and I have never had this problem. I can't stop bleeding. I'm giving it until Friday before I call my doctor again to see what he wants me to do. This has never happened to me before. What could be going on? ## Hello, Nina! How are you doing? The levels of progesterone t...

All I.ve heard for years that I'm pre cancer for my uterus most GYN want me to take a progesterone for the rest of my life for the thick lining. Now for 3 weeks I've been back on it and for the last week I've started back spot bleeding which I'm not happy about so if I stop will I continue to spot bleed.. ## Hello, Joelin! How are you? After menopause, while your body usually stops producing progesterone, you still produce estrogen, plus it is made by any fat cells you have and a lot of foods and environmental factors are contaminated with it and it is estrogen that builds up the endometrial lining, so yes, you can still build up a pretty thick one. The Medroxyprogesterone is causing spotting, because it's breaking up that lining to clean out your uterus. Usually, mo...
