It is quite common for bleeding to start anywhere from 3 to 10 days after finishing your course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone). Since you recently completed the medication, your body may just need a few more days to respond. If it has been more than two weeks since your last dose and you still have not started bleeding, please reach out to your healthcare provider. They can perform a simple evaluation to check for other common causes of missed periods, such as hormonal imbalances or stress.

It is generally best to wait for your withdrawal bleed to occur after finishing Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) before starting Familon (desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol). A bleed typically starts 2 to 10 days after finishing the medroxyprogesterone acetate. Starting the contraceptive pill before this bleed happens can disrupt your cycle further, often causing unpredictable spotting rather than safely delaying your period. I recommend waiting for your bleed to start or consulting your doctor to safely coordinate your cycle.

It is highly recommended that you take Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) for the full five days as prescribed. This medication works by mimicking progesterone to prepare your uterine lining; stopping it too early may not trigger the hormonal drop needed to start your period safely and effectively. To get the best results, please complete the full course. If you are experiencing any bothersome side effects, it is always best to check in with your doctor. Your body is just in a gentle process of resetting, so completing the course is the safest way to support it.

A failed progesterone test when adhesions or stenosis are suspected usually means there is physical scarring in the uterus or cervix blocking the flow, rather than a hormonal issue. This is a known, treatable complication of a D&C. The standard next step is a hysteroscopy, a minor procedure where a specialist uses a tiny camera to visualize and gently clear any scar tissue or blockages. Afterward, temporary hormonal therapy with estrogen followed by progesterone is often used to help your uterine lining heal and regrow. Please consult your gynecologist.

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.

Yes, there is still a possibility of pregnancy, so taking a home pregnancy test is the most important next step. Generally, accidental exposure to Deviry (medroxyprogesterone) in early pregnancy carries a low risk of harming the baby, but you should consult your doctor immediately if you are pregnant. If the test is negative, other reasons for a delayed period after taking this medication include hormonal imbalances, high stress, thyroid fluctuations, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Please reach out to your gynecologist for a proper evaluation to help bring you peace of mind.
