Long Term Side Effects Of Medroxyprogesterone

I was just prescribed this medication by my doctor, because of irregular periods. For the past 2 years I have had my period non-stop. It has not regulated or anything so she put me on this medication. What are the long term side effects of this? Does it decrease fertility? What?

Hello, Lyla! How are you?

No, it won't affect future fertility. Actually, this hormone is vital to your ability to get pregnant and maintain a healthy pregnancy to full term. Bleeding like you've been having is usually due to having too much estrogen and not enough progesterone, this is a form of progesterone to replace it for you to try to get the bleeding to stop.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, breast tenderness and irritability.

Is there anything else I can help with?
