Damn my period is bad

Kathleen • 26. Married. TTC baby #1

My first provera period (first period in 90 something days) had got the best of me. My cramps are unbearable and on & off. First day was pretty light with cramps. Day 2 is heavy flow and cramping. Has anybody taken provera? How were your periods?? I'm hoping this is just because it's been a while since I've had a cycle. I hope this isn't how I'll feel every time. I just keep crossing my fingers for natural ovulation and possible baby!!!
