If you’re following along at home, you know that in my last post one of my concerns was that I wouldn’t be seeing my dear Aunt Flo for a while. Also that my doc gave me 3 missed periods before we started a medical intervention.
Aaaaand here we are.
I’ve officially missed 3, so after a quick pregnancy test (negative, of course) my doctor prescribed me Provera aka medroxyprogesterone. I’m on 10mg tablets once a day for 10 days. Then I am supposed to get my period within 2 weeks. THEN hopefully I’ll be able to start clomid (finally!!!!) It’s looking like if everything goes the way it is supposed to and my medically induced aunt flo stops by for a visit on schedule, I should be ttc the week of Christmas! I’m pretty excited.
As of now I’ve only taken my first Provera tablet. I’ve read online that people suffer some pretty bad side effects with it (severe cramps starting as early as halfway through the pack, very sore/tender breasts, spotting and breakthrough bleeding, severe nausea etc). I’m hoping I don’t get any of those, yuck, but so far I’m feeling fine. I did fine with BCP for all those years, where as my roommate would get extreme morning sickness and other weird pregnancy symptoms in lieu of PMS. So, it is important to remember that when dealing with hormone medicines, they affect everyone very differently.
I’ll keep you posted on how things are going onward.
