See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Provera is making me insane (not that it takes much!)

This drug is making me into a mad woman!! Not the best when my mental health is already pretty compromised...

Spent about an hour and a half sobbing under the duvet earlier (this was after getting an email from a pastor at church in which I thought she seemed 'off' - yup, crazy!), after staying up late last night to cry (fun times! who doesn't stay up at night to cry?).

I have been having bad PMS since coming off the Pill, but nothing like this. It feels like there's no colour in the world, and everything's against me. I also cannot see the point in us bothering to do IVF, as it's clearly not going to work. And my healthy diet - what's that?

I really wish my periods would behave, then I wouldn't have to take this rubbish. I'm sure Provera is probably fine for really balanced people. When you're an already-crazy taking it, that's a recipe for disaster!

It's also been giving me hot flushes, so I feel like maybe I'm going into the menopause, and my skin is terrible.

On the last day of it, I had really severe aches and pains, like I was getting flu or a virus.

(For the context, I took Provera for a week, at 10mg. My last pill was two nights ago, and now I am sitting around waiting for AF to come.)
