How long do I have to wait to try to get pregnant after taking Provera?

I have been taking provera to have a menstrual period. I want to become pregnant, and am curious if it should be out of your system for a certain amount of time before trying. I have heard provera can be very harmful to a fetus, and wanted to know how long provera stays in your system…

All Provera does is make you have a period. After you complete the course (usually 5, 7 or 10 days) or while you are still taking them you should start your period. Then it is like a normal cycle. You wait to ovulate and then hopefully have sex at the right time and get pregnant. The problem is that if you having to take Provera for a period then you aren’t ovulating. You MUST ovulate to have a period and since you are having to take the Provera for a period then you aren’t ovulating. The Provera is out of your system as soon as your period begins usually. If you are going to the doctor about not having a period ask him/her to see if you are ovulating. This will probably mean having ultrasounds (quick and not painful at all) regularly throughout your cycle and/or charting your basal body temperature. Basal body temperature (BBT) is cheap and noninvasive. All you do is buy a basal body thermometer (around $7-$10) and take your temperature first thing in the morning when you wake up. You must take it at the same time every morning and take it before you do anything except reach for the thermometer. When and if you ovulate your temperature will rise and stay up until you get your period or find out you are pregnant. I have been taking my BBT for right at 2 years now and I found out I was ovulating very irregularly (like 1-2 times a year). So when I went to the doctor for help in trying to conceive I showed him my charts and there was no question I wasn’t ovulating so he was able to go straight to other testing without having to go through several ultrasounds first. I am now on clomid and so far I have ovulated both times. I also wanted to mention that most women who don’t ovulate or have periods on their own or at least regularly have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) so that should be checked out too. Good luck! Email me if you have any more questions and I will be glad to help all I can.

provera is doing nothing to help you get pregnant. most women take provera because they dont ovulate-how do you expect to get pregnant if you dont ovulate?? provera wont hurt a baby if you happen to magically conceive but chances are you are going to need clomid or other ovulation induction agent. go back to the doc that gives you the provera for some education on your condition

As a brief disclaimer, I am not a medical professional and I am not giving medical advice. I do not recommend self-diagnosis, nor do I take any responsibility for your choices concerning treatment of any symptoms of menopause or your use of herbs or prescription medications. This you should consult a doctor or physician about on your own if you need to.

Menopause is an inevitable stage of every woman's life, whereby the body goes through changes affecting her due to the physical, emotional and hormone changes that occur. This period of life does not necessarily have to be very painful or disturbing. It can be a liberating experience and can be both enjoyable and meaningful instead of being filled with misery.

With that said, menopause is not a disease or condition, but merely an evolving cycle in a woman's life when the child bearing years are beyond us and life has served some of it's natural purposes and our bodies must move onward to the next stage.

The better care you have taken of your body during your younger years, will affect how you will be living during later years, so try to take good care of yourself as you are moving forward in life toward this inevitable cycle called menopause.

Menopause symptoms can vary from person to person but they may include mood swings, moodiness, insomnia, weight gain, hot flashes and other symptoms. For many women going through menopause, the decrease in hormones can also increase the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. The role of diet and exercise and other environmental factors is also important at this point in life.

The good news is there may be some natural solutions to overcoming and dealing with these un-wanted symptoms. Certain plants and herbs contain compounds called phytoestrogens. These phytoesgrogens can actually mimic a woman's own estrogen in a mild way, helping to prevent some of the symptoms and risks associated with menopause.

Soybean products such as tofu, tempeh and soy nuts contain high levels of these phytoestrogens. Many women from Asia who consume large amounts of soy based products do not have the same instances of hot flashes, nor does their rate of osteoporosis and heart disease rise as much with menopause, as it does here in the USA.

Some of the herbs that have a benefit to symptoms of menopause are Licorice Root, Black Cohosh, Alfalfa and Red Clover. You may notice a decrease in the frequency of hot flashes by taking one or more of these herbs. They can usually be found in tinctures or capsule form and are in most health food stores.
