A member asked:

I took medroxyprogesterone to induce a period ttc. i am on day 9 of my cycle for the last 6 days super heavy need to change every 2hrs is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not normal: Heavy bleeding after Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is not uncommon but you need to be seen urgently to help curtail this amount of blood loss. Your gyn will have reviewed your hsg x ray to ensure the cavity of the uterus is free of polyps/fibroids and you may need blood clotting tests.
