Provera question -do I need it - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Message Board

my doctor prescribed Provera for me to start the end of this month, and then I am to start Clomid. I started my period today. Do i need to call her to tell her, or do I just wait till the day she wants me to start the Provera. This may be a dumb questions, but I am new to this.

Thanks

yeah i would give them a call since provera makes you have a period, and since you got one on your own you dont need it. and everyone takes clomid at different days of their cycle but normally it's between cd3-5. so if you are going to start this cycle you should find out what day they want you to start!!! good luck!!!

Thanks, this is my first cycle on Clomid, and I wasn't sure how it worked. I was to go and see her after 5 days on the Provera and she was going to talk to me about how the clomid works. Typically how long do you take the clomid before ovulation?

you know it's too hard to really say because everyone is so different. i know in my situation with the cycle i'm currently on, that they started whatching for me to o on day 12, but i didn't o until day 18 or 19. so if they dont monitor you with ultrasound to tell when you will o, you will probably have to use a ovulation kit to really make sure you know when!! good luck!!
