Is it normal that when I take the medroxy, my basal body temperature (taken at the same time every day) is higher than usual?

Question

Hello, I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I take metformin every day, and medroxy to trigger my period on day 40 if no period and negative pregnancy test.

Good morning, ma'am, This is not reported in the product monograph, but it is not impossible. All in all, your chronic condition can cause menstrual disorders and make the use of ovulation tests much more difficult. I usually only suggest this type of test to people with a regular cycle because they are expensive and otherwise do not provide much benefit. I suggest that other people simply have full sexual relations at least every 2-3 days during the menstrual cycle. I will remain available if anything comes up! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
