perimenopause and proveraFrom: janice (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 29 Aug 1998 21:55:56 -0500 (CDT)
I am hesitant to repeatedly take provera to induce periods. I am 47 and am experiencing perimenopausal symptoms including increasing episodes of amenorrhea. Have had a number of sonograms and a sonohysterogram, revealing some endometrial thickening; treatment with provera for a couple of months resulted in normal test results. Have never taken birth control pills, no history of medical conditions, and would rather avoid taking any hormones if at all possible. Currently, no period for 3+ months. Doctor has prescribed 10 mg provera every other month, and I'm reluctant. Isn't amenorrhea 'normal' during this time? If provera must be taken, what would be the minimum dosage/schedule I could try? Would cutting the 10mg tablet in half for 10 days be sufficient to try and induce a period? Would very much appreciate your comments.
