No. The progesterone shot you got is actually PROGESTERONE. Progesterone itself is broken down to an inactive form when taken orally. Provera is medroxyprogesterone acetate, which is not broken down when taken orally.

Sorry you're feeling bad, but I couldn't help laughing out loud at that comment! What a good description! Can't wait to pass that on to my patients for a chuckle they can relate to....
