Can Herbal Supplements Be Taken While On Medroxyprogesterone?

I have been prescribed Medroxypr Ac 10 mg a generic for Provera 10mg. 1 time a day for ten days. I am supposed to do this for 6 months. I take an herbal supplement with citrus fruit blends, cinnamon powder, bitter orange extract, fenugreek seeds, ocotea leaf extract, and essential oils of Ocotea, cassia, peppermint, and fennel. I take 3 of these a day. I also take 1 capsule of pomegranate seed oil, lemongrass, lemon myrtle, and Idaho balsam fir essential oils a day. Should I stop taking the herbal supplements during the 6 month? Would they cause any interaction if I continue them? Thank you.
