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.

The bleeding you experienced after taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a withdrawal bleed, which, along with your negative blood pregnancy test, is a very strong sign that you are not pregnant. Blood pregnancy tests are highly accurate. Emergency contraceptive pills like the i-pill and hormonal treatments like Deviry can temporarily disrupt your natural cycle, leading to irregular or missed periods this month. While pregnancy is highly unlikely, taking a simple home urine pregnancy test can help ease your mind. Please consult your gynecologist to help regulate your cycle.

After completing Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), it typically takes 3 to 7 days for withdrawal bleeding to start, but it can sometimes take up to 14 days. Since it has only been five days, your body might just need a little more time. Other possibilities include low estrogen levels or minor hormonal fluctuations. Although you had a negative pregnancy test, it is always a good idea to repeat the test if bleeding doesn't start. Please consult your gynecologist if you don't experience bleeding within the next week.

Both Deviry (medroxyprogesterone) and Regesteron (norethisterone) are progestins that effectively control heavy bleeding. Generally, norethisterone (Regesteron) is highly effective at quickly stopping heavy bleeding. Neither medication will harm your long-term fertility, as they are cleared from your body quickly once stopped. However, neither should be taken once you are pregnant. Because you are planning to conceive, I gently recommend discussing this with your gynecologist.

Since the initial trial didn't induce menstruation, the next step is typically to check your hormone levels (like estrogen, thyroid, and prolactin) and perform an ultrasound to check your uterine lining. Your doctor may then suggest a combined estrogen and progesterone cycle to help prime your lining and encourage a bleed, or further investigate underlying conditions like PCOS. Please schedule a follow-up with your gynecologist.

It is actually quite common for your period to take up to 10 to 14 days to arrive after finishing medroxyprogesterone acetate (Deviry). Your slightly underactive thyroid (TSH of 6) and starting levothyroxine (Thyronorm) can also temporarily affect your menstrual cycle as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes. I recommend waiting a few more days. If you are sexually active, taking a simple home pregnancy test is a good first step to rule that out. If your period doesn't start within 14 days of finishing the medication, please reach out to your doctor for guidance.
