A member asked:
Am on day 5/10 on provera (medroxyprogesterone) 10mg to induce a period. i am 5 weeks late so dr presc. it. not preg. but extremely bloated. normal? what can help with this

Bowel movements: Progesterone slows down bowel activity. If that is what makes you feel bloated you can try helping it with a laxative. If you just stop the provera, (medroxyprogesterone) you may have a withdrawal bleeding, which is what you want, and you are good. However, 5 days may not have been sufficient and you don't have an immediate withdrawal bleeding, but starting in another few days and that is nerve wrecking.

Not much: Bloating from both not having your period and the progesterone is common. Not much to do for it I am afraid. Hope this works for you and you have your menses soon. Best of luck. Dr R
