Provera is a hormone usually given to re-start menstruation after a missed period or irregular periods. For example, many women cannot take steroids (say for pneumonia) because it stops their periods. Provera is ordered as a short dose, usually 10 days, to bring on menses. Sometimes, though, a period brought about by Provera can end up being a 10-day on, 10-day off cycle, which then requires another hormone to re-regulate the cycle.
Since Provera brings on a period, never take it during pregnancy, at any stage. Make sure all physicians and your pharmacy knows you are pregnant, especially in the first trimester or if you happen to be a heavier woman which may make it harder for people to realize you are pregnant.
All hormones have risks, especially during pregnancy. Discuss all meds with your doctor and be sure you know any new meds prescribed to you.

Can taking oral provera cause a miscarriage?
Provera is perfectly safe for use during pregnancy. Doctors use Provera to help prevent miscarriage in early pregnancy and it is usually taken until 12 weeks gestation, when it is stopped because the placenta has formed and the placenta produces enough progesterone to maintain the pregnancy. Years ago, before they had the modern monoclonic pregnancy tests, they used Provera as a pregnancy test. If you did not bleed, you were pregnant. If you bled, you were not pregnant. Provera will cause you to get your period if you have missed your period due to hormonal imbalance. Provera will also stop your bleeding if you have some dysfunctional uterine bleeding (twice a day for five days). During pregnancy, Provera does not cause bleeding. Provera definitely does NOT cause a miscarriage and is definitely used during pregnancy, expecially if you have a low progesterone level.
