Provera challenge - one for the girls

Has anyone done this? I've always had irregular periods and have now gone 2 years without one. I'm a normal weight and don't over exercise. My doctor wants me to do a provera challenge to see if I need to go on the pill or if i naturally have enough oestrogen present but am just not menstruating. I'm quite reluctant to take it and to be honest i've not exactly missed having periods. Has anyone else done this test? What does a withdrawal bleed indicate and what if you don't bleed? I've tried google but i can't find any clear cut information.

If there is no info on the net I think it's best to ask your doctor what the results will mean, although the link above does have an outline of the results :smile:
