Why is Provera prescribed when trying to get pregnant?
Patient: hello my name is Brenda, I have been trying to conceive for 8 months with no success. My doctor did blood work and all these other tests to see if i had a fertility problem and the results would always come out just fine. so after that my husband went in and did a sperm count and semen analysis, and the results were perfect too. My doctor has put me on metformin 1000 mg a day. i have been on the metformin for almost a month and a half. the thing is that before all this i used to have very irregular cycles and my doctor put me on provera 'birth control' for 3 months to help regulate my periods which helped for the whole 3 moths, but when i finished my period was gone for about 41 days and after that them have been much better ive been getting them around every 31 to 32 days. Like i was saying my doctor put me on metformin... but i have been searching the web and they only give that to women who have pcos and i dont have pcos. my doctor told me to take the medication for 3 months and to go back after the 3 months to see what would happen. so I just want to know why would she put me on this medication? is it going to help me conceive? Doctor: provera is medrox progesterone. ..it is to get your period....u do serum tsh and serum prolactin den do hsg on day 8th den do follicular study after taking clomiphene from day two den follicle size increase to 18 mm den rupture den iui fr early results
