Hi Aslihan, Here is an earlier letter copied for you:

Provera is medroxyprogesterone acetate. Progesterone is the main hormonal product of the corpus luteum, which forms after ovulation. Progesterone is responsible (among others) for the transformation of the endometrium (inner layer of the womb) in order to be able to accept a fertilized egg. If there is no ovulation, no corpus luteum and no progesterone is produced. This is the main reason why PCOS women do jot have regular periods or why they have irregular and/or prolonged bleeding sometimes. As provera is the close relative (chemically and biologically) of the natural progesterone, a course of 10-14 days of it brings about a near normal bleeding. Hope this is enough of information, if not, you may contact me directly Sam
