Depends: If you are on Provera (medroxyprogesterone) as a method of contraception, then in order to try and conceive a pregnancy, you are going to have to stop the Provera (medroxyprogesterone). If you are on Provera (medroxyprogesterone) for another reason (endometriosis) then you should discuss with your doctor alternative treatment to Provera (medroxyprogesterone) if trying to conceive. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck. Dr R

Inform Doctor: It is important to tell the Doctor about all of your medications including Herbs, vitamins, supplements, green teas. Both of you should be involved in the treatment plan. I am not sure why you are on Provera (medroxyprogesterone) but it must be taken as directed. How you take it can affect your fertility.
