A member asked:

Can you take clomid or provera (medroxyprogesterone) while on nuristerate birth control?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Why?: Clomid is designed to trigger ovulation and help one get pregnant. Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is Progesterone often used to trigger menstrual cycles. Birth control is used to prevent pregnancy or regulate the cycles. I can not think of a reason why someone would want to take these medications together. That does not make sense.
