-- I use contraception, but thought that since I am not ovulating and/or bleeding regularly, it was less of a concern for me than others? Or, is it possible for me to simply become pregnant, at any time of the month, since I never know WHEN I will bleed? If so, having NO period MAY mean I MAY be pregnant???? (Thus, should I accidentally TAKE the provera, will this BRING on a period, even if pregnant, ruining the pregnancy)??? Thanks for helping out my confusion.
