Will Provera Taken During Early Stage Pregnancy Affect The Fetus?
My doctor gave 10mg tablets of Provera for irregular periods for 10 days but even after 2 weeks I did not get periods. Then when I did a test, I got to know that I am pregnant and they told me that I am pregnant for 8 weeks and 2 days. Is there any kind of side-effects, doctor?

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Provera contain medroxyprogesterone acetate and it does not affect the pregnancy or fetus. But it support the pregnancy and prevent miscarriage in high risk pregnancy.
Following are the side effects of provera:
Dizziness, breast tenderness, tiredness, mood swings, change in vaginal discharge, drwsiness, nausea and vomiting.
You should continue the pregnancy but regular follow up and USG are required to know progress and growth of fetus.
Hope this may help you
