Provera
« on: April 17, 2023, 02:01:15 PM »

Has anybody used thus and if so how did you find it? My gynecologist has just prescribed this for severe pelvic pain to see if it works before having to have a laparoscopy to look for endometriosis so really hoping it works for my pain. Wasn't keen on trying as it's synthetic. Any thoughts? Thanks

I currently use this as part on hrt, previously on Utrogestan but this made me really bloated with awful bladder issues. Have found it so much better, my GP said that it is much more gentle than Utrogestan - are you on HRT?

Hi, no not currently on HRT. Consultant has agreed to prescribe this soley for pain. She suspects endometriosis but only way to confirm this is a laparoscopy so the aim is to see if it helps to reduce my pain. Estrogen fuels endometriosis so its a bit of a no no just now. I was ok with utrogestan vaginally but not orally but cannot get Utrogestan anywhere where I live

Excuse the derail, OP, but just curious about bladder issues on utrogestan? I switched from Provera to Utrogestan last year. I had no problems on Provera. Utrogestan is OK. I sleep better, but have lots of crazy dreams. Urine colour seems different, hence my question about bladder issues.
