A member asked:

Is it safe to take provera (medroxyprogesterone) oral after you got your menstrual period and you have irregular periods and pcos?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, definitely: Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is just progesterone, one of the hormones that your ovary makes naturally. Definitely safe to take as you describe.
