With PCOS and a five-month absence of periods, your estrogen levels might be low, leaving the uterine lining too thin to shed. Consequently, Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) may not trigger a withdrawal bleed right away. It can also sometimes take up to 10 to 14 days after finishing the pill for bleeding to begin. Please be reassured that this is common. I recommend consulting your gynecologist, who may perform an ultrasound or hormone test to safely guide your next steps.

While pregnancy is a possibility and should be ruled out first with a simple home pregnancy test, there are other common reasons for not bleeding. With PCOS, your estrogen levels might be too low to build up the uterine lining, meaning there isn't enough to shed even after taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate). Please take a pregnancy test to be sure. If it is negative, I recommend reaching out to your doctor, who can help evaluate your hormone levels and guide your next steps.

It is very common for your period to take a little time to start after finishing Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate). Withdrawal bleeding typically begins 3 to 10 days after completing the course. Since it has only been five days, I recommend waiting another 5 days. If your period still does not start after 10 days, or if there is any chance of pregnancy, please take a home pregnancy test and consult your doctor to discuss the next steps.

After finishing a five-day course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), your period typically starts within 3 to 7 days. However, it can sometimes take up to 10 to 14 days for the bleeding to begin as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes. Try to remain relaxed, as stress can also influence your cycle. If your period does not start within two weeks of completing the medication, please reach out to your healthcare provider for a gentle follow-up evaluation.

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.

It is completely understandable to feel a bit concerned when your cycle doesn't go as expected. Light spotting after finishing your five-day course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) can be quite common. Sometimes, a full withdrawal bleed can take up to 7 to 14 days after taking the last pill. I recommend waiting a few more days to see if your normal period begins. If it doesn't, or if there is any chance of pregnancy, please take a home pregnancy test. It is always best to keep your doctor updated so they can guide your next steps.
