See below: Medroxyprogesterone (provera) can be used for abnormal uterine bleeding, but use may depend on severity of bleeding, how long woman has been on current contraceptive, whether she has missed any pills, etc. See gynecologist for evaluation. Depending on above factors, may need different oc pill.
