>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.

Answers:

No, just becasue you're not ovulating regulary doesn't mean you won't up and ovulate at the most inconvenient time and get pregnant .

Yes, you could become pregnant anytime. Mohter Nature just loves playing that little joke on us humans...."but, I wasn't having periods so I thought I couldn't get pregnant"

YES, if you miss a period you may be pregnant. Do a pregnancy test every time before you use the Provera to bring on a period.
