Provera, which contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, may be prescribed in the first trimester of pregnancy to help manage certain conditions, such as a history of recurrent miscarriages or to support the lining of the uterus in women with low progesterone levels. It can help maintain the pregnancy by stabilizing the uterine lining and preventing premature contractions. However, its use is typically evaluated on a case-by-case basis, considering potential risks and benefits. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.

Provera is a hormone usually given to re-start menstruation after a missed period or irregular periods. For example, many women cannot take steroids (say for pneumonia) because it stops their periods. Provera is ordered as a short dose, usually 10 days, to bring on menses. Sometimes, though, a period brought about by Provera can end up being a 10-day on, 10-day off cycle, which then requires another hormone to re-regulate the cycle. Since Provera brings on a period, never take it during pregnancy, at any stage. Make sure all physicians and your pharmacy knows you are pregnant, especially in the first trimester or if you happen to be a heavier woman which may make it harder for people to realize you are pregnant. All hormones have risks, especially during pregnancy. Discuss all meds with your doctor and be sure you know any new meds prescribed to you.
