A member asked:

Can takin provera (medroxyprogesterone) 2 start period every cycle be harmful?haven't had natural period for 4 cycles now and every cycle prescribed provera (medroxyprogesterone).tryin 2 gt pregnant

No, but...: Provera (medroxyprogesterone) isn't harmful, but won't help you to become pregnant. It sounds like you're not ovulating. Your doctor can prescribe Clomid to help you to ovulate.
