Little info. On Provera

Provera does not make you ovulate. It builds up the uterine lining with the progesterone hormone & then when you stop taking the hormone, you have what is called a "withdrawl bleed" This is usually a way to induce a period to get you back on the path to TTC again, but if the doctor wanted to make you ovulate after this, they would try Clomid. Provera is usually prescribed for women TTC who are not regular or its been a while between periods, so you need to be "cleaned out" & start fresh. Provera is also Rx'd to women who are trying to go through the change as they have such irregular periods that they don't always clear out their uterine lining & therefore at higher risk for Endometrial Cancer.
