A member asked:

I had a d&c five and a half weeks ago. still no sign of ovulation or period. is it safe to take provera (medroxyprogesterone) to bring on my cycle? thanks!

Not yet: Your body will likely reset itself after your recent d;c. Hold off on the Provera (medroxyprogesterone) and don't take it until your doctor has had a chance to help you figure out why your periods are delayed.
