After finishing Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), it is very common for your period to start anywhere from 3 to 10 days, and sometimes up to 14 days, after the last dose. Since it has been seven days, you are still within this normal expected window, so there is no need to worry. I suggest waiting another week. If your period does not start by day 14, please take a home pregnancy test if applicable, and reach out to your gynecologist to discuss the next steps.

Since you had protected sex, pregnancy is unlikely, and it is very common for antipsychotic medications to delay your cycle. However, before taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone), the safest first step is always to take a home pregnancy test. Taking a test will give you clear answers and peace of mind. You should not take Deviry if there is any chance of pregnancy. Once you have the test result, please consult your doctor to guide you on the safest way to regulate your period.

Since your pregnancy test is negative, it is very common and safe to use medroxyprogesterone (Deviry) to help reset your cycle after a recent illness. Stress and illness can easily disrupt your hormones. Typically, you will take this medication for a few days as prescribed by your doctor. After you stop taking it, you can expect a period-like withdrawal bleed to start within 3 to 10 days. This is a standard way to get your cycle back on track. Please consult your doctor to ensure the exact dosage is tailored to you.

While both medications are helpful, taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone) and Trenexa (tranexamic acid) together can increase the risk of blood clots. More importantly, Trenexa is meant for heavy menstrual bleeding, not for bleeding from your bottom (rectal bleeding). Rectal bleeding can be caused by various issues like hemorrhoids or small tears, and it requires a proper medical evaluation rather than self-treatment. I gently advise against taking Trenexa for this bleeding. Please consult your doctor so they can safely examine you, find the exact cause of the bleeding, and prescribe the right treatment.

Deviry contains medroxyprogesterone, a hormone that helps regulate your menstrual cycle by mimicking progesterone. Normally, taking this medication builds up your uterine lining, and when you finish the course, the sudden drop in hormone levels triggers your period. If you skip taking your Deviry, your body doesn't get the consistent hormone levels or the necessary drop to signal a bleed. Please try to take it consistently as prescribed. If you have missed doses, it is best to consult your doctor to safely get back on track.

I completely understand how stressful it can be to wait for your period, especially after a four-month delay. Please try not to worry. Deviry (medroxyprogesterone) works by preparing your uterine lining, and your period (withdrawal bleeding) typically begins 2 to 10 days *after* you completely finish the tablets, not while you are taking them. Since you only took them for 5 days, it is normal to wait a few more days for the bleeding to start. If your period does not arrive within two weeks after your last pill, or if you suspect pregnancy, please consult your doctor for a follow-up.
