    What is provera? I bled for a good few weeks after I started my injections and was very down about it. I was previously on norethisterone to stop my bleeding. I took 3 pills a day. My consultant told me to go down to 2 pills and then gradually reduce but I bled heavier when I tried to reduce. I saw another consultant... Who told me to just instantly withdraw the norethisterone. He said I would get a heavy bleed for a couple of days (and to arm myself with tranexamic acid) but I would then stop bleeding. This completely worked for me! I stopped the tablets right away, had a heavy bleed for a couple days... Then nothing for the rest of my injections. I wish I had this information right away. If provera is anything like norethisterone, then stop taking it right away and see how you go.
