Question Menstrual cycle, PCOS, and Provera

I've been low-carbing nearing five months now. Almost everything about my health is better. The one problem is that I have not had a period. All of my PCOS symptoms have been lessened, especially insulin/hypoglycemia problems. I was on hormones before going low-carb but decided that I didn't want to be on them after due to the major improvement in my health. I also am on the path toward natural living wherein I don't put non-natural substances into my body (except that I'm still on Glucophage and Aldactone for PCOS). Otherwise, my diet is essentially Neanderthin with dairy allowances.

I saw my gyno today and she said that if I don't get a period within two months that she wants to jump start my system with Provera. She said that should give me a period. If I do not get regular cycles after, she said every six months she wants me to go on Provera.

Has anyone else been on Provera? I would really like to hear about experiences.
