Some say the hormone Provera does not cause a miscarraige some say it does which to you take am so confussed?

Answer 1

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.
