    Medroxyprogesterone (Oral)

    Has anyone else been put on Provera to regulate periods? Not the shot, but the oral medication? I have to take it the first 10 days of every month up until December. I usually get my period a few days after I finish the pills. Now this is my 3rd month taking it and my 2nd time getting 2 periods in one month. If you're on these pills, are you experiencing the same thing?

    I took Provera years ago when I was trying to get pregnant because of irregular cycles. Now, I have a refillable prescription since I no longer need BC, but my cycles are regular now so I haven't had to take any.

    How far apart are your periods? I didn't experience two periods in a month when I was taking it.

      My periods always have lasted 7-8 days. Whenever I take this pill I'm gettin a period a week after they stop or two weeks apart I guess. It really sucks. The second period isn't heavy like the first one but I get the cramping, bloating, and mood swings. It really sucks. =[
