QuestionHi. I took Depro Provera for about 18 months. It made me bleed a lot, so I switched to the pill. I stopped taking the pill in May 2003. I did not get a period from May - November. When I did get my period, it lasted from 11/4/03 - 12/10/03. I did not get another period until 1/1/04 which lasted until 1/29/04.
I saw my gynecologist on March 1. He prescribed Provera, which I took on March 29. I got a period from 4/9/04 - 4/26/04. From 4/26/04 - 4/28/04, there was slight bleeding (light pink / spotting).
Since 4/30/04, I have been nauseous, emotional, vomitting and tired - everyday! I took a pregnancy test at home on 5/8/04, and it came out negative. Maybe I took the pregnancy test too early to detect HCG. My doctor is going to have blood tests done to check my hormones and he wants to put me on fertility pills since I am trying to conceive. But he wants to wait until I get another period. I'm not sure when I should expect another period since it has been irregular since last year. Any suggestions? Could I still be pregnant? Something is causing me to feel sick.
AnswerHello Pam, no, I doubt you are pregnant. Your hormones are just VERY screwed up. Your dr. is correct to wait until you have another period even though that could take awhile. Pregnancy at this point would most likely fail anyway due to your hormone imbalances. Along with your medical care from your dr. I would strongly suggest you consult a naturopath about your nutritional health. You sound to me like you might need major adjustments in your food plan to properly support conception and pregnancy. All the best- Cheri.
