Missed Periods, Trying To Conceive. Taking Provera, No Bleeding. Previously On Depo Injection. Treatment?

i have been on depo injection for a little over a year. last shot taken was may and should have expired last august. i have not had my period since. my OB prescribed 10 mg provera for ten days but it did not bring in a period. after a transvaginal ultrasound reveal thin endometrial lining .19cm, but otherwise normal ovary and uterus. January was prescibed again 10mg provera to be taken in ten days. currently on the 6th pill. is this the right way to bring a period? we re currently actively trying to conceive for baby No. 2.

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

Since you have thin endometrium there might be difficulty in getting periods.

If you dont get periods by provera this time, ask you gynecologist to prescribe estrogen tablets next time along with progesterone which will help in endometrial growth and hence bring period.

I hope I answered your query. I will be available for any follow up queries you have.

Regards,
Dr.Mahesh Koregol
