Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) If you want to rule out pregnancy you take another test today.

2) If its negative wait for 5 days after completion of provera during which time generally cycles start.

3) If still no cycles you can ask your doctor to add estrogen to the provera medicines. This definitely helps in bleeding.

I hope I answered your query.

I will be available for any followup queries you have.

Regards,
