I was also taking provera, just finished my last pill yesterday, it was trying to induce my period, so i can start my fertility treatment!. After taking provera a person should expect there periods anywhere from 1 day after up to 10 days after, it all depends on your body!. For me my last cycle my periods came about 4 days after my last pill of provera!.
When your periods start you are suppose to discontinue taking provera, but you should confirm with your doctor, for what you are being treated it could be different!.
In the case of fertility treatment generally we pobably wont be taking the pills exactly the same days everymonth, cause the last week day 21 or 28 i think we do a blood test to see if pregnancy occurs, and after that we start our second cycle , by taking provera again for 10 days and so on!.
In your case it can be different if your doctor only wants to regulate your cycle, they can advise you best!. You may only have to tkae it a month or two and your cycle could start on its own!. It all varies from person to person!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

(1) Yes, it is safe to be on Provera during your period!. No problem here!.

(2) Provera is not the most modern "choice" medicine to take as contraceptive!. Maybe your doctor has good experiences with stimulating the return of your periods!. I do not know whether Provera is fit to do so!. Maybe it is!.

(3) Generally, you could take any birth control pill like Yasmin and probably would have a withdrawal-bleeding every cycle!. This would be a standard procedure to try!.

(4) I do not know how old you are and how long you have had your periods without problem!. Obviously, the treatment is different for teenage girls or mature women!.

(5) Without seeing your condition it is difficult to give advise!. Are you sure you are well nourished and your lack of menstruation is not due to eating disorders or malnourishment!? Did your doctor (gyn!?) exclude all diseases from being causal!? Did he check your hormonal state!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not aware of depo-provera being offered as a pill!. I have been taking it via injection for about 7 years!. I think you are confused!. You do not take it to induce a period!. Maybe you are unclear on what 'induce' means!. Depo-provera can stop your menstrual cycles!. It is a contraceptive!. That means it keeps you from getting pregnant!. It is not 'unsafe' to start it while on your period!. It is irrelevant!. What do you mean "harsh on the body!?" It has some beneficial effects and some detrimental ones!. It's not like eating rat poison or something!.

You said you are taking your birth control pills for 10 days out of the month!? I think you should go back to your doctor, have a discussion about how birth control works, and how you should be using it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
