If i have to take provera (medroxyprogesterone) to initiate menses, does that mean that i'm not ovulating? what is the likelihood that i will ovulate next cycle?

Provera (medroxyprogesterone): Often times we do use provera (medroxyprogesterone) for a cycle without ovulation. The chance you will do it next cycle kinda depends on what cause you to ovulate (more than likely you will if it was just a spontaneous lack of ovulation) and if you do this often or not.
