What you are experiencing is very common and is likely the beginning of your withdrawal bleed, which acts as your period after taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone). When you stop this medication, your hormone levels drop, triggering your uterine lining to shed. This often starts as light brown spotting, accompanied by mild stomach and back discomfort as your uterus contracts. This shows the medication is working as intended. However, if your pain becomes severe, or if the spotting does not progress to a normal flow within a few days, please contact your doctor.
