It is common to see rising fasting blood sugar even when post-meal levels improve. This often happens because your liver releases stored glucose overnight, or due to hormonal fluctuations, sometimes influenced by medroxyprogesterone (Deviry). Your metformin is working well for meals, but your overnight dosage might need a slight adjustment. Adding Limcee (vitamin C) and Evion 400 (vitamin E) is generally safe, but please note that high doses of vitamin C can occasionally interfere with glucose monitor readings. I gently recommend sharing these blood sugar patterns with your doctor to safely fine-tune your routine.

To help naturally regulate your periods, focus on a balanced, low-glycemic diet and aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily to improve insulin sensitivity. Managing stress through yoga and ensuring consistent sleep also play a huge role. While reducing reliance on Deviry is a great goal, not having a period for six months requires medical attention to protect your uterine health. I gently recommend consulting your gynecologist to safely kickstart your cycle before transitioning to these lifestyle changes.

I understand how frustrating weight gain from Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) can be. For PCOS, a surgical procedure like a D&C is typically a temporary measure rather than a long-term solution for managing your uterine lining. Transitioning to a different medication, such as an alternative generic progestin, micronized progesterone, or even a hormone-releasing intrauterine device, is generally preferred over surgery. These options can safely protect your uterus with fewer side effects. Please discuss these medical alternatives with your gynecologist to find the best and most comfortable path forward for you.

Yes, taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) for 30 days post-surgery is generally a safe and appropriate approach. This hormone helps suppress any remaining endometrial tissue and prevents recurrence while your body heals. It is quite common to use progestins like medroxyprogesterone after such procedures. Please continue to follow your surgeon's specific guidance, and let them know if you experience any bothersome side effects like mood changes or irregular bleeding.

While withdrawal bleeding typically starts within 3 to 10 days after finishing Deviry (medroxyprogesterone), it can sometimes take up to 14 days, especially with PCOD due to underlying hormonal variations. I recommend waiting another 3 to 4 days. If you are sexually active, it is also a good idea to take a home pregnancy test to rule that out. If your period still does not arrive after 14 days, please reach out to your gynecologist.

Deviry, which contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, is typically used to delay periods rather than bring them forward. Attempting to manipulate your cycle by starting it now without a doctor's precise guidance can cause unpredictable spotting or irregular bleeding, which might disrupt your trip. I gently recommend speaking with your gynecologist before starting this medication. They can evaluate your cycle and safely recommend the best timing or alternatives to help you manage your period.
