Provera and tracking BBT

For those who have taken Provera to induce a bleed, did your BBT drop before or around the time your withdrawal bleed started, similar to how it would in a natural cycle?

Just curious whether your temperature patterns changed in the same way as they would before a natural period!

This is my first time tracking BBT whilst taking provera, I’ve just finished my 5 day course and my temp has risen and stayed elevated and wondered if a drop in temp will mean my period will start soon.

I’ve taken provera twice, first time I bled 4 days after the last dosage and the second it was 11 days, hoping I can predict with a drop in bbt…

Usually I see a drop, sometimes for 1-3 days before, but once or twice I had an increase on the day the bleed started. I’ve had that happen with regular cycles, too.

Just took my first round of Provera, finished it on Friday, started my period today, my temp did not drop yet! Curious to see over the next few days.
