After stopping Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), it typically takes about 3 to 7 days for your period to start, though it can sometimes take up to 14 days. Since you stopped taking it three days ago, your body is just beginning to adjust to the hormone changes. Try to relax and give your body a little more time. If your period does not arrive within two weeks, it is best to consult your healthcare provider to discuss the next steps, or take a pregnancy test if there is a possibility of pregnancy.

Is there still a chance I could be pregnant despite negative tests, what is causing my period to be delayed since April, and what should I do now that my period has not started seven days after finishing the prescribed Deviry 10mg?

It is very unlikely you are pregnant if your tests are repeatedly negative. A delayed period since April is often caused by hormonal imbalances, stress, or conditions like thyroid fluctuations. After finishing Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), it is completely normal for your period to take 3 to 10 days, and sometimes up to 14 days, to start. If your period does not arrive within two weeks of completing the medication, please consult your gynecologist for a gentle evaluation to help restore your natural cycle.

I stopped taking the medication Deviry in April after using it for a year and a half, and even though my hormone levels, kidney and liver tests, and immune system tests are all normal, I am now experiencing on-and-off swelling in my face, lips, and eyes?what could be causing this?

While Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) helps regulate hormones, stopping it after long-term use can sometimes cause temporary fluctuations that affect how your body reacts to mild allergens. The swelling you are experiencing in your face, lips, and eyes could be a form of localized swelling (angioedema) triggered by subtle environmental factors, new skincare products, or dietary changes that your body is temporarily more sensitive to. Please keep a symptom diary to track when these episodes happen and share this with your doctor or an allergist.

Is Deviry 10 mg safe for my daughter, who has irregular periods from PCOD, if she previously developed a blood clot (DVT) in 2012 while taking Ovral-L?

It may reassure you to know that Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a progestogen-only medication, which generally carries a much lower risk of blood clots than estrogen-containing options like Ovral-L. However, because of her medical history, it is incredibly important to consult her gynecologist or hematologist before starting any hormonal therapy. They can thoroughly evaluate her current health to ensure Deviry is the safest choice for managing her PCOD.

Is it safe to take Deviry three times a day for five days, and should I take the tablets before or after meals?

Yes, taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) three times a day for five days is a common and safe prescription often used to help regulate your menstrual cycle. To prevent any mild stomach upset, it is best to take these tablets after your meals. Please complete the full five-day course exactly as prescribed. It is very common to experience some bleeding a few days after stopping the medication, which is completely normal. If you have any persistent discomfort, please consult your doctor.

How many days after finishing a 5-day course of Deviry 10 mg tablets should my period start?

After finishing your 5-day course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), your period, which is actually a withdrawal bleed, typically starts within 3 to 7 days. However, please don't worry if it takes a bit longer, as it can sometimes take up to 10 to 14 days for the bleeding to begin. This timeline is very common and expected. If your period does not start after 14 days, it is a good idea to gently check in with your doctor for further guidance.

My sister has missed her period for three months and did not bleed even after taking Deviry 5mg. Her ultrasound showed a mild buildup of fat in her liver (grade 1 fatty liver) and a slightly enlarged womb (mild bulky uterus); what do these two findings mean, and how can she treat them to get her periods back?

A 'mild bulky uterus' simply means her womb is slightly larger than average, often due to temporary hormonal fluctuations. 'Grade 1 fatty liver' is a mild, reversible buildup of fat, frequently linked to hormonal imbalances like PCOS, which can also cause missed periods and a lack of bleeding after Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate). Lifestyle changes, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can reverse the fatty liver and help restore her hormonal balance. I highly recommend she consult her gynecologist to safely investigate the underlying cause of her missed periods and guide her treatment.
