    When did your doc tell you to take this?! I'm currently on it to clear any debris from my womb, and a friend of mine was put on it for the same reason after she miscarried.
    I found this as well.....

    Provera (Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) :: Health-Science.Com ::

    Warning:
    The use of Medroxyprogesterone Acetate during the first four months of pregnancy is NOT recommended.

    Progestational agents have been used beginning with the first trimester of pregnancy in an attempt to prevent habitual abortion. There is no adequate evidence that such use is effective when such drugs are given during the first four months of pregnancy. Furthermore, in the vast majority of women, the cause of abortion is a defective ovum, which progestational agents could not be expected to influence. In addition, the use of progestational agents, with their uterine-relaxant properties, in patients with fertilized defective ova may cause a delay in spontaneous abortion. Therefore, the use of such drugs during the first four months of pregnancy is not recommended.
