Has anyone here taken this before??? how did you go about getting it (besides the obvious going to the docs!)???
DH and i had agreed to start TTC#3 in august but DH is constantly asking me if we can get pregnant now!! (impatient man!!) but the thing is - I havnt had my period for about 5 months now!! i was getting them after i had Astin but i dare say that they were just pill induced as i was on the mini pill so as soon as i stoped taking them my AF stopped and i am obviously not ovulating either (no im not preggas either)... Any advice is muchly appreciated

As its a prescription drug you will have to get it from the dr (I just had a look at the box I have in the cupboard). But the reason I have it is to stop bleeding not bring it on. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Hi there
Provera can be used to bring on AF but also to stop AF if you've had it for awhile. Weird I know! When I get prescribed Provera it's to bring on an AF for TTC. Could go to ways about getting it when visiting the dr; Say you are TTC again and wanted to bring on AF to get the ball rolling or Say you haven't had an AF for 5 mths and wanted to have an AF cos you wanted to make sure down there has a bit of a clean out (it was suggested to me a few years back that I have this as I don't have a natural AF, the dr reckoned women need to have a bleed at least once a year to keep things healthy inside -not sure if that is true). Hope that's the kinda thing you were wanting ??? Good luck with TTC!

I had no problems getting it Amber, as I was bleeding something bad. Ask you dr about it and explaining why you want it they should be able to help you out. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
