Yes I was taking Merdroxypr AC 10mg because I was suppose to have a Essure procedure in January. I have always had somewhat periods but now this month I have not started my period, could it be due to the medicine or could I be pregnant. ## Medroxyprogesterone, commonly prescribed under the brand name Provera, is a hormone, most commonly prescribed to help regulate ovulation and the menstrual cycle. That said, this site is not medical professionals, we cannot give you a definitive answer.

Have you contacted them, yet?

I am in menopause, my doctor has me take 2 Medroxypr ac 2.5 mg. pills for 10 days every 3 months to cause me to cycle. He stated that since my body isn't naturally sluffing off the cells like it use to, this will do that. Does anyone else do this? My friends have never heard of this and they are also into or through menopause. ## Have you considered looking into any natural alternatives for menopause related symptoms? I would highly recommend researching and trying (100% therapeutic grade) Clary Sage Essential Oil for this. During menopause, clary sage oil can help reduce hot flushes, night sweats, palpitations, irritability, as well as headaches and dizziness. It is also very beneficial for cramping. My girlfriend as well as a few other people to note have personal experience with ...

My Dr prescribed this medication for me cause I have a thick linen around the inside of my uterus. I have to start it the 12 day of my cycle and take it for 12 days. In April I started on the 6th and it lasted like a normal period. Then after I started the pill, a few days before I stopped the pill, I started my period again. But this time my period has as of today lasted for almost two weeks. So that is two periods in one month and now it is may and I am still on my period. Is this normal, cause I am getting really frustrated right now. I am suppose to start the meds again this weekend, but if I am going to have more than one period and it last forever, I don't want to take it no more. ## Medroxyprogesterone is a hormone and what you are experiencing are normal side effects of taki...

Can this medicine give you a UTI? I don't take baths, and it started 2 days after I started taking Medroxypr. ## Medroxyprogesterone is a hormone, commonly used in Contraceptives. It is not known to cause UTIs, however, there are other ways they can occur, it doesn't require taking a bath. They can also occur from eating something or having another medical condition that causes an imbalance and lets the infection set it. Sometimes they just occur for no known reason.

was on medroxyprogest 10mg for 21 days due to bleeding from the uterus. I finished all the pills but still spotting slightly. Is this normal? I am 67 years old. No doctor over the years have ever suggested this type of meds. Been fine in health until these last few years. Have been under a lot of stress so don't know if this has anything to do with the bleeding. Seen a OBGYN who prescribed these meds but since then have been in the process of moving to another town. Once we are in our new home in a week I plan to go to the hospital to get a reference to a new GYB. Have any suggestion on what I should do for the spotting. ## I have been bleeding for a hold month and these pills not working ## Both of you need to consult your respective doctors. Even after menopause, you can still acc...

Do low dose asprin effect the use medroxpr ac? ## Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between Medroxyprogesterone and Aspirin; deeming them safe to take together. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate.
