A change in your Prega News test result could indicate a pregnancy, or it might be an invalid reading. Since your period has not started 10 days after completing your course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), the most reliable next step is to visit your gynecologist for a blood pregnancy test (beta-hCG). This test is highly accurate and will give you a definitive answer. Your doctor can also help evaluate other reasons for your missed periods if the test is negative.

Please be reassured that a beta hCG level under 0.100 mIU/mL is a definitive negative result, meaning you are not pregnant from intercourse that occurred before the test. Regarding your medications, you should not start taking birth control pills while you are actively taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone) unless specifically instructed by your doctor. Combining these hormonal medications can disrupt your menstrual cycle and cause irregular bleeding or other side effects. I gently recommend finishing your prescribed course of Deviry and speaking with your healthcare provider to safely plan your ongoing contraception needs.

Stopping a beta-blocker abruptly after two months can cause your racing heartbeat to return or your blood pressure to temporarily rise. To keep your heart safe and comfortable, this medication needs to be tapered off gradually. I gently advise you to speak with your doctor before making any changes. They can help you safely and slowly lower your dose to ensure your heart transition is smooth and worry-free.

It is actually quite common for a period to take up to 10 to 14 days to start after finishing medroxyprogesterone (Deviry). Since it has been eight days, your body may just need a little more time. Additionally, stress and weight gain can significantly affect your hormone levels and delay your cycle. I recommend waiting a few more days. If your period does not start by the 14th day, or if there is any chance of pregnancy, please take a home pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist to discuss the next steps.

You should stop taking the Deviry (medroxyprogesterone) tablets now that your 5-day course is complete; do not continue taking them. Your period, which is a withdrawal bleed, typically starts about 3 to 7 days after your last dose, though it can sometimes take up to 10 days to arrive. This is completely normal, so please try not to worry. If your period does not start after 10 days, please reach out to your healthcare provider for further guidance.

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.
