My OB has put me on Provera as i am still having a small amount of bleeding 6.5 weeks after giving birth. I googled Provera and it seems to be used to bring on periods however my OB gave it to me to stop bleeding??
Can anyone clarify for me or have you been on Provera and what side effects did you have? So far I have had cramping, like period pain. And breast tenderness, I'm having to feed 2hrly because it's so painful if they get too full.
I'm very confused, can I expect my period once I stop taking the tablets (12 day course)?? I am also getting an US in 2 weeks to check for any retained products.
Hi
Yes, Provera can also be used to stop bleeding.
I think I read one of the side effects is excess milk production too.
I guess it would bring on a period when you stop... but I'm not sure about that. Maybe it's different when you use it post-natally.
All the best ~~
