Provera Users

How long does AF usually last for you?

I'm going on week 2 now, with no end in sight. Last time I took Provera, I had AF for a week and it was normal. I feel this time around, it's very heavy and (TMI) clotty. Poor DH keeps asking me when I'll be ready to get back to business lol, not to mention I've hand unbelievably painful cramps this time, so I'm wondering if this is the "norm" for everyone, and I just lucked out the first time.

Re: Provera Users

mine was a couple days longer but i really only get af for 3 4 days tops anyway and it was def heavier

2 weeks i would call the doc

feel better

Re: Provera Users

I would def call the dr if its been that heavy for that long. I had an incident the first time I was put on Provera and I ended up in the hospital for a week. It doesnt sound like you are hemmoraging like I was but 2 weeks is a long time for it to be heavy like that.

Good luck

Re: Provera Users

When I took it it extended my AF by a couple of days...mine only lasts at most 3 days...I would def call your doc

Re: Provera Users

Last time it was about 8 days....I hadn't had AF in 2 months so they said it was going to be a long time since my lining was so thick.

But 2 weeks sounds really long, I would call the Dr

Re: Provera Users

Thanks ladies.

It seems to have slowed down, so hopefully this is the end of it. I called my RE like you all suggested, and she explained that since I had such a long gap between cycles, that my lining was very thick, so it was going to be longer than a normal period to flush out my system. Thanks again
