Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) can indeed be prescribed to help restart a delayed period, but only after a healthcare provider confirms you are not pregnant. However, Deviry is not a contraceptive and will not prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. To prevent pregnancy, you would need emergency contraception, such as levonorgestrel (the emergency pill), ideally taken within 72 hours of intercourse. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare professional as soon as possible to guide you safely and discuss the best next steps for your body.

After finishing your 5-day course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), your period should typically start within 3 to 7 days, though it can sometimes take up to 10 days. Please be reassured that this is a normal timeframe. Additionally, recovering from COVID-19 last month can certainly affect your cycle. Physical illness and stress can temporarily disrupt your hormone levels, leading to menstrual delays. Your body is still recovering, so please give yourself some time to heal. If you do not get your period within 10 to 14 days after completing the medication, it would be best to consult your doctor.

After finishing a course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), it can take anywhere from 3 to 14 days for your period to start. The stomach cramps you are experiencing are a very common sign that your body is preparing for this withdrawal bleed. Since it has been 10 days, I recommend waiting another 3 to 4 days. In the meantime, if there is any chance of pregnancy, taking a simple home pregnancy test is a good first step. If your period still does not arrive after 14 days, please consult your gynecologist to discuss the next steps.

Siphene (clomiphene) helps with ovulation, while Deviry (medroxyprogesterone) is meant to regulate your cycle. After finishing Deviry, it can sometimes take up to 10 days for a normal period to start, and light spotting can happen. Since your home pregnancy test is negative, I suggest waiting another 2 to 3 days. If your period still does not start, please take another test and contact your gynecologist. They may recommend a blood test or a quick ultrasound to see what is happening and guide your next steps.

Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is generally not recommended during pregnancy. However, since you are in your 18th week, your baby's major organs have already formed, which is reassuring. To ensure everything is progressing safely, please stop taking this medication immediately and contact your obstetrician. They will likely recommend an ultrasound to check on your baby's development. Please reach out to your doctor as soon as possible.

It is safe to take Regestrone (norethisterone) as prescribed by your doctor. While Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) did not trigger your period, norethisterone is a different, slightly stronger progestin that is very effective at inducing a withdrawal bleed. Since your doctor has evaluated your situation and prescribed this, it is safe to proceed. Please follow their exact dosage instructions. If you have any concerns, or if your period does not start after completing the course, do follow up with them.
