A member asked:

I'm trying to get pregnant and i'm about to start provera (medroxyprogesterone). i understand provera (medroxyprogesterone) doesn't help with ovulation. what can i take to help me ovulate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Provera (medroxyprogesterone): Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is a Progesterone like compound which should produce a period. Provera (medroxyprogesterone) takes care of the lining of the uterus so that it doesn't get overly thick. There are ovulation induction agents which can then be given for ovulation. Speak with your doctor.
