A member asked:

Took medroxyprogestrone for 10 days to get cycle. history of pcos, irregular cycle. cycle started on day 12, have had it 3 times in 6 weeks. heavy. normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really normal: The Medroxyprogesterone is supposed to trigger a period after finishing the dose. So bleeding on day 12 is normal. But 2 more periods in 6 weeks doesn't sound right. Maybe there's something else going on? Check with your gyn doc to rule out other problems like endometrial polyps or other hormonal issues.
