Yes, I had two rounds not work for me. They did an ultrasound of the uterus to check how much lining I had then did another round and the 3rd time was the charm. I have also had it take longer than 1-3 days its supposed to take. So I usually say after about 10 days I call the md and let them make the determination if it didn't work and want to see me.

Hi,
Just been stalking your thread!
I have a question, how long after your last provera pill did AF arrive? I have been on 10mg - 3x a day for 10 days and today being my last day on cd74. so Im hoping it wont take long before the witch arrives! then on cd 2 I go onto letrozole. LETROZOLE is similar to Clomid.
would be great to hear back!!! hope all goes well and this cycle works for you!
Hey All, I've been stalking too! To answer your question my experience was it took about 5 days after I took my last pill to start. It completely caught me off guard. Cuz the first time I took it, it didn't work so I thought it wasn't going to work again. LOL Big Surprise. I also will say after going 2 years without a period, it has almost been reset
Hello,
Just wondering how many rounds of provera have you taken? Also after how many rounds did you start to get AF w/o any help?
Thank you!
ByHisGrace,
Hey there... Random thought... just found out your in nursing school and I am too!!
Well in total I have been on 4-5 round of clomid this year. After the 4th round I started to have spotting but not an actual "flow". The doc just put me on another round to get the flow started again then I'll be taking clomid on Day3.
Hello Ashrc66,
Finally a fellow Nursing Student, what semester are you in? Just finishing up my first semester and I love it!!!
Also just wanted to check you took 4-5 rounds of clomid or provera before you had spotting? Or did your Dr. combine them? Also for provera did you take it every month or every other month?

How are things going...is AF still really bad or did it slow down after a few days?

ByHisGrace : Good for you! im glad you started! and thanks for checking with the herb guy! I would like to try that tea too!
and im on CD 7 and the bleeding is very light almost spotting and just when i wipe so thankfully im at the end! I had such long 200 day cycles that my lining wasnt completely shedding when i would have a period so provera kinda came in and "cleaned house" is a way that im thinking of it.
im starting my vitex again and i got OPKs ! hopefully with a clean house my ovaries will produce an egg!
baby dust!!

Hi Lynn1216,
Thanks for the update it helps to hear about others experiences! I started pills on the 19th and will finish on the 23rd. I am hoping AF doesn't come til 26th and leaves by Dec 1st (my Thanksgiving Break).
Ok so can you refresh my memory what does OPK mean? Also Vitex helps you cycle and release an egg right?
Also if you are interested in trying some of the Herbal Stuff message me and I will give you the contact info for the Herb Store. Bob is amazing and doing this since he was a kid, his Mom was an herbalist.

Hi! Thank you so much for the encouraging scriptures, God bless you! God is good and HIS timing is always perfect! Even on the worst of days with hair issues, raging hormones, BFNs, discouraged, noticing mothers with babies in strollers everywhere
and almost everyone around preggas! I still hold onto His Unchanging Hand which gives me Hope!Provera, Oh ya! AF sure showed up 2days after the last pill and as usual it was very unbearable!!!
A little background story...I decided to take Provera this time because i wanted to give Soy isoflavones a try. So i used Provera to induce AF so i may have a CD to start counting since i rarely get AF.
Believe me i have tried other ''natural'' remedies like Maca root powder and Vitex that everyone raves about BUT never worked for me!
So i switched to Fertilaid which also has vitex, for a good 5 months, including the tea and nothing
nix nada nichts!Anyway I am still taking the herbal teas.(Nettle leaf, peppermint, red raspberry, red clover, ladies mantle) I bought them in bulk each individually, so i blend them however i want to.
I also started on the Soy already, today is my last day, CD9 ( doing 5-9), then will start ''stalking'' ovulation after about a week... I am experimenting on myself so will see how this goes.
With that am also taking Folic acid and will go back to Royal jelly as well after soy which is tomorrow.
As for the doctors, they suggested that i have my blood work done first and also DH to check his fertility status, then would recommend a course of action which i highly suspect will be Clomid but didn't get to that part since i wanted to explore the natural route first. Fertility clinic will be our last resort which will be next year.
Baby dust!

Today will be day 2 of Provera for me. On cd82 today. So far no side effects (Knock on wood). Was wondering...has anyone only taken one round of Provera and it made their body get back on track and they got a bfp on their own very shortly after? Or do you have to continue taking Provera each month to mense reguraly?
So it's officially 10 days for me, and still no af!!! 
uggg so worried and flusterated!
I have taken provera before, in addition to clomid. When I conceived my son, I took provera once to start a cycle, then took clomid. On clomid I ovulated, so af came on her own and I didn't need to take provera again after that. It did take a couple rounds of clomid to get pregnant though.
What's vitex???

Hey there-
I am finishing up my first semester as well, it ends in December
I love it as well! Are you doing an ADN or BSN program?I actually took two rounds of Provera before spotting occured. They took time in between roughly 4-6 months before I was prescribed the third round (Provera) which actually caused my to have AF! Then this month I was prescribed another round which I finish my last pill today. I had spotting on Saturday & Sunday but MD wants an actual flow hence the reason I am on it again. As soon as this AF shows, on Day 3 I get to start Clomid! Which is supposed to make me ovulate, I'm hoping it works.
Baby Dust to you as well

Hello Ladies!
MSW-How are you doing? Did you take a HPT? From what I understand Vitex is an herbal remedy used to help women ovaltue...never tired it but looking into it. Some of the ladies on here can give you a better explation though.
Stezbarn-God is amazing and as long we praise Him and hold His mighty hands we will make it through!! I love all the herbal stuff you have tired/are trying I am going to go to my Herb Guy and talk to him about them. Thank you for info!!! Keep us posted I am gaining interest in taking the Herbal route...
Lhatch-How are you doing?
Ashrc66-I am going for my ADN but thinking I might just contine on for BSN as I really want to work in Pedi Onc but cant unless you have the BSN. How about you? Good luck with clomid and keep us posted!! Glad to hear Provera did the job though...I am hoping it works for me!!!
Lynn-How are you doing? How is school going??
Blessings & Babydust,

I am supposed to start provera but really sceptical about it. I have irregular bleeding (long spotting before my period) so doc put me on provera but she said it wont improve my fertility. The side effects also sound scary! ( bitchy, brown spots) did u experience these? Such a dilemma
Hello ladies !
I usually have 200+ day cycles! very irregular and my obgyn prescribed provera and I started taking it today!!
anyone else taken it and had luck falling pregnant or any tips or side effects? thanks so much God bless!!

No af still. Def not pregnant. I don't know if I ever told you guys why I'm taking provera or not, but I miscarried twins in September, and haven't had af since. We were supposed to wait a couple of months before ttc again, so we've been very careful. I'm wondering if there is a little hcg left from my mc that is causing the lack of af. I had a serum hcg done Friday, so I'll know soon! But I've been taking tests quite often since my mc, watching the hcg go down and the lines get lighter, so I know for sure I'm not preggo now.
I'm actually a nurse, I graduated from nursing school a few years ago, so I know how hard nursing school can be. Good luck girls! I work on the pediatric floor.

Hi MSW, let me offer some hope here..
I take progesterone when I feel like it because I was warned by doctors if you are taking it with unopposed estrogen you can end up with cancer If you arent having a period still I think something might be off, and because I finished school for radiologic technology and now am in for the treatment of cancer- I worry about taking hormones. Cancer isn't pretty and younger and younger people are coming in all the time!!
So lets talk about what could be going on, my doctor told me it just meant my lining wasnt built up far enough..
So sometimes she said this had to do with Testosterone imbalances etc..
Now for the hopeful part..
Last year I started cutting carbs and taking vitex to try and force a period ( I also take metformin 2000 mg a day)
BFP the next month no period.. ( I did miscarry because of low progesterone though, but they weren't listening to me and put me on it wayyy to late)
So I think you have some hope, and my doctor said in cases like ours clomid has a very high success rate.
If vitex and low carbing it doesnt work in six months I want to try clomid, and if that doesnt work, ovarian drilling..
Also I think you wont start bleeding until you stop taking the provera if you are going to because its a "withdrawal bleed"
GL and Baby dust !!!
