Provera and Metformin??Is this how it's suppose to work
Ok so this is like my third or fourth question about Metformin and whatnot...Not the same question but I'm just curious..I was prescribed Metformin and Provera and started taking it this past Monday(07/13) I was prescribed the Metformin because I have PCOS and the Provera to bring on a period because the last one I had was in August of 2008. I am suppose to take the Provera for 5 days..tommorrow being my last..and it's 5mg..and the Metformin I'm on 500mg 2 x's a day. Now my question is If I get my period on ..say the 20th of this month and the Metformin works..would it basically reset everything to where I would have a period next month around the same time and the following without needing the Provera to start it? I'm trying to ask it the best way I can..lol..So sorry if I confused anyone. I would love to hear any success stories as well..even if it's just it working and getting you to ovulate. I am TTC #1..Thanks in advance!

That's almost correct. If metformin works, you shouldn't need provera again - though it may not work that quickly for everyone (sometimes can take couple of months). Your cycle, however, won't be perfectly regular at first i.e. don't expect period month.

After provera reset cycle for my wife, she was on metformin and first few cycles were 40-45 days, but then over few months got down to 35 days or less (and ovulating more frequently). Only took provera once at the beginning - didn't need to take again. She was also careful about her diet as well (less glycemic carbs) and was taking 500x2 (which is a relatively low dose).

Of course, if your cycle gets stuck for 50+ days or longer (AND you are confirmed not pregnant), then doesn't hurt to take provera to reset it again. But make absolutely sure not pregnant as provera can induce period i.e. potential miscarriage. So try avoid taking provera again unless absolutely unnecessary.

Wife got pregnant twice in a year (one miscarriage) after starting metformin. This was after 2.5 yrs of trying without knowing about PCOS. Metformin was the miracle drug for us.

Good luck

Well in my case it did work. after my first dose of Provera I was good i didnt need anymore. But I also got it as a shot to start my period. I was then on metformin 50mg 2 time a day but my insulin wasnt lowering so we inreases it to 3 times a day and I got pregnant. I loss baby late (22 weeks preggers) b/c i stopped taking metformin. (thats what I think. doc didnt advises to take during preg.. some do and some dont.. but I will the next time ) anyway i was told i had incompetent cervix. but to answer your question metformin is a miracle for a lot of women with pcos. if period is normal u can maybe concieve in 3-5 months. good luck
