So I'm going on a long haul holiday tmrw which would be great if I wasn't so exhausted after 3 nights of barely any sleep.
I started Provera on Wednesday night. I'm in peri and still having the odd period and they're bad, so didn't want to risk it on holiday.
On Thursday I was given Omeprazole for acid reflux, which i started that day. Insomnia is more commonly listed as a Provera side effect but anecdotally some people have reported sleep problems with Omeprazole.
One of them has also made me constipated! I have IBS and normally diarrhea is my issue but hadn't been to the loo since Thursday but then today went numerous times but it was a struggle to empty myself!
Now I don't know what to do. Will 3 days of Provera then stopping it, trigger a period? I was told to take it 3 times a day. Could one a day hold off the period maybe? As mine aren't monthly maybe I won't have one? (She says hopefully!) I was told to take 4 Omeprazole per day. Should I go down to 1 on that too? As that's more likely to have caused the constipation, which truthfully i could do with my bowel slowing a little, just not to the extent it has. Aargh I don't know what to do. And will be travelling all day from early tmrw so can't call the GP.
I guess this is a WWYD?
