Provera... what should I do?

[Sophie1205]

I haven’t had a period since November last year (I have PCOS and I’ve put weight on which stops my periods). We started TTC on 1st May. I spoke to my GP yesterday and she has prescribed Provera to induce a period so that she can test my hormone levels on CD 21. However, last night and this morning I have had a bit of spotting. I don’t know if this is potentially implantation bleeding or the start of a period. My periods don’t usually start with spotting, it’s usually just full flow straight away

So my question is, do I hold off on taking the Provera just to be on the safe side? My GP said make sure you’re not pregnant before taking it. I have done a test this morning and it is negative but if it’s potentially implantation bleeding it would be bad to take the Provera wouldn’t it? My thinking is do I wait a week, don’t have sex in the mean time, take a pregnancy test in a weeks time and if it’s negative (and I haven’t had a period) then take the Provera? Or do I just take it now?

Any advice would be massively appreciated

Have you had any BD in the last two to three weeks that wasn’t protected? For me, that would be the deciding factor. Or I’d ask my doctor for a beta because I’m obnoxious my anxiety wouldn’t let me take it if there was any remote chance of pregnancy, so if you can swing it to have a dry period (solid 2-3 weeks no hanky panky) then yeah that’s your safest bet. If it is implantation bleeding, then I’d say wait a week then test? Also nothing wrong with taking it. You have to do what sits best with you. Hugs. Best of luck and baby dust

Yeah we have had lots the blood has been there since Tuesday now but only when I wipe. It’s not enough for a period. But yeah we stopped having unprotected sex on Tuesday this week. I will take a test next Tuesday and see how if the light bleeding has stopped. Yeah I agree I don’t want to take it if there’s a chance I could be pregnant. I’ve been doing OPK tests every day since 1st May and not had a positive one so I’m not sure it’s likely though. I’m just being impatient!

And also thank you for the baby dust!! Xxx

Thank you! I’m sadly WTTC. Gotta find a boyfriend/husband first or save you enough money to afford a donor/second child alone

I feel you in impatient though! Hoping the wait flies by.
