Missed period for a month.doctor has prescribed provera (medroxyprogesterone) 10mg. what are the side-effects of it?shld i take it or wait for normal cycle to start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You could wait: Did your doc get any bloodwork? It is not unusual for a woman to skip a period occasionally, but if you skip more than 3 months, taking Progesterone (like provera) can jump-start a period.
