Yes, you should take a home pregnancy test as soon as possible. While the i-pill is effective, it is not 100% guaranteed, and a missed period is a primary sign of pregnancy. Since you are currently taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone) to help restart your period, confirming whether you are pregnant is highly important, as these hormonal tablets should be avoided during pregnancy. Please take a test using your first morning urine and share the results with your doctor to ensure your safety.

Yes, Deviry tablets are commonly used to induce periods when they are delayed due to hormonal imbalance, as they provide progesterone and, after stopping the tablets, a withdrawal bleed usually occurs within a few days. However, they should only be taken if pregnancy has been ruled out and under a doctor's guidance. There are no completely safe over-the-counter pills to start periods earlier on your own, and other similar hormone medicines may be prescribed by a doctor depending on the cause, but self-medication is not recommended. It is important to identify the reason for delayed periods, such as stress, weight changes, thyroid issues, or conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and treat that appropriately. If delays happen often, a proper medical evaluation is needed to ensure safe and effective management.

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.

Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is generally not recommended during pregnancy. However, since you are in your 18th week, your baby's major organs have already formed, which is reassuring. To ensure everything is progressing safely, please stop taking this medication immediately and contact your obstetrician. They will likely recommend an ultrasound to check on your baby's development. Please reach out to your doctor as soon as possible.

It is very common and generally safe to experience mild spotting while taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate). I recommend completing the remaining two days of your prescription. Finishing the full course ensures that your hormone levels drop properly after you stop, which helps trigger a normal withdrawal bleed (your period), usually within 3 to 7 days after your last dose. Stopping early might lead to irregular bleeding. However, if the spotting becomes as heavy as a normal period, or if you experience severe pain, please contact your doctor.

After finishing a five-day course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone), it typically takes about 3 to 10 days?and sometimes up to two weeks?for your withdrawal bleed to start. Since your pregnancy test is negative, the delay is likely just your body responding to the hormone. I recommend waiting up to 10 days after your last pill. If your period still hasn't started by then, please consult your gynecologist for a gentle check-up to evaluate your ovarian cysts.
