Question 1

if i been on depo-provera for 2 months can i take metformin to get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Metformin is not: Going to have an effect that helps to override depo-provera. It can help some women with polycyystic ovarian syndrome to ovulate but you are going to have to let the depo-provera run its course. Good luck.

Question 2

will i get pregnant while being treated with provera and metformin for pcos?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy: Provera can  aid ovulation but if taken regularly it can prevent pregnancy. Metformin doesn't prevent pregnancy but can increase chances of pregnancy in women with PCOS. Your gynecologist can advise you best, however.

Question 3

on october 1 i had a still born.  on october 13 i received metformin 2,000 mg and depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone).  on the 19 i had intercourse. can i get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Highly unlikely: At least for the next 3 months. By the 19th, the depo-medroxyprogesterone had already primed your hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary pathway, tricking your brain into thinking you were already pregnant. So, your ovarian follicles aren't going to pop out eggs, and your uterus is not going to build up its endometrial lining key for implantation. You may have some spotting, or stop menstruating for a while

Question 4

can taking provera and metformin together increase my chance's of getting pregnant with pcos?

Accepted Answer

: Taking both Provera and Metformin will not generally assist with attempts to conceive, especially with PCOS.  Ovulation induction is usually required , so see a reproductive endocrinologist (fertility specialist). Provera will reduce chances of conception by making the endometrium unfavorable for implantation, even if ovulation did occur.

Question 5

76 day cycle no period. took provera (medroxyprogesterone) 10 day ended 6 days. did pregnant urine not preg.. 1 month ago. started metformin. what is happenin was norm till now?

Accepted Answer

Irregular periods : Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections &  hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do  a home pregnancy test .  There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Question 6

can metformin or provera (medroxyprogesterone) throw false positive pregnancy tests?

Accepted Answer

No: Neither of these effect the results of a pregnancy test

Question 7

how can i get rid of pcos ovarian cysts naturally? i am taking metformin and provera (medroxyprogesterone)

Accepted Answer

Part of you: PCOS is not something you get rid of....it's something that's part of your nature.  You can do things that keep your weight at a reasonable point like diet and exercise.  The more weight you gain, the worse the PCOS can get.  Metformin helps some, doesn't help others.  Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is just to keep your periods regular.  You may need fertility meds to help you ovulate when you want to conceive.

Question 8

i get the depo-provera shot every 3 months and i don't have any periods( great)! if i take metformin ;could it make my periods to come back?

Accepted Answer

No interaction: No interaction bwtn metformin and birth control pills.

Question 9

can i take metformin and provera (medroxyprogesterone) togather?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no reason why you could not take both meds if needed.

Question 10

can metformin and provera (medroxyprogesterone) help you conceive?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Metformin lowers your Insulin levels and may help women with pcos ovulate.  Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is a progestin and sometimes will induce an ovulation in someone who is not ovulating but is mostly used as a tool to regulate menstrual cycles and prevent cancer in women who do not ovulate.  Women with irregular periods should see their gynecologist or a reproductive endocrinologist for advice on these treatments.
