Medroxyprogesterone (Deviry) works by mimicking the hormone progesterone; your period (withdrawal bleeding) typically begins 2 to 10 days after you finish the course, not while you are taking it. You should stop the medication after completing your prescribed three-day course. Please do not extend it to five days without your doctor's advice. If your period does not start within 10 days of taking your last pill, please contact your doctor for a follow-up.
