A member asked:

Can you take provera (medroxyprogesterone) while breastfeeding an 11 month old ( 2-4 times daily)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Medroxyprogesterone is excreted into breast milk. Lactation does not appear to be adversely affected by contraceptive use of medroxyprogesterone. Medroxyprogesterone is considered compatible with breast-feeding by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
