THIS SEMMED TO WORK THE BEST. BUT I HAD TO TAKE THIS MORE AND MORE OFTEN. SO THEN BECAME UNAFTECIVE.
I had to take it so i got a period so i then could take clomid. I had no side affects
I have taken this since 01/02/08, they had me go off of it in February to see if I would have a period on my own, didn't work! So I'm back on it this month.
Helped make my period come - but my fertility doc doesn't give it to me anymore for fear that I may get pregnant and not know
I use it to induce my periods . it works like a charm , it just gives me horrible PMS .
well I only take it when I dont have a period the month before and it seems to work
Always does its job and brings on AF.
I am taking provera monthly to have a period and it is doing its job, but I am very moody and teary.
