When should my period start after taking Provera?

August 31, 2008

I have been on Metformin for PCOS for a month now, today I started Provera. I am supposed to take it for 10 days, and then on days 3-7 of my cycle I take clomid for the first time. I am wondering when I should expect my period to start after taking the provera? I have not had a period since May.

Hi Bobbi.... I'm not sure since I haven't been in your situation but I wanted to say "welcome". I too am new to this site. I find it very friendly and informative. I love reading about peoples journeys, it helps me to know that I am not the only one who is struggling.

Julsbake,

thanks for your post. I to am new, and have found this site amazing! are you ttc as well?

Yep, my hubby and I are trying for another baby and sibling for our son who is soon to be 3. I'm 38 and scared to death about the conception journey ahead of us. We haven't used any birth control since my son was born and had been trying on our own prior to starting with fertility treatments a month ago. I've done one IUI and it was unsuccessful. I am now on Clomid with hopes of another IUI in Sept. I have only one good tube due to a prior ectopic pregnancy and my husbands sperm count is on the low end of normal. Best wishes to you on your journey! Lots of ***Babydust***

Usually after you finish taking provera, it takes 2-3 days for the menses to come. The menstrual period comes as a result of the fall in your progesterone level, this is why it takes a couple of days for that to occur.
