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 continue taking the medication for the full number of days prescribed by your doctor, rather than stopping now. The spotting you are experiencing is not your actual period. Your normal menstrual flow is expected to start a few days after you finish the entire course of the pills. However, if you experience heavy bleeding or severe pain, please consult your healthcare provider.

After finishing Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), it typically takes 3 to 10 days for your period to start, though it can sometimes take up to 14 days. The mild stomach cramps and breast pain you are experiencing are very common signs that your body is preparing for menstruation. Since it has been 11 days, I recommend waiting another 3 days. If your period does not arrive by the 14th day, or if there is any chance of pregnancy, please take a home pregnancy test and consult your doctor for a gentle evaluation.

Experiencing withdrawal bleeding after taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a very positive sign, as it typically indicates you are not pregnant. This bleeding happens because the progesterone levels drop, causing your uterine lining to shed, which generally does not occur if you are pregnant. However, to give yourself complete peace of mind, I highly recommend taking a simple home pregnancy test. Since you have PCOD, tracking your cycles can be tricky, and a quick test is the most reliable way to be absolutely sure.

Since you have already ruled out pregnancy and other concerns, using medroxyprogesterone acetate (Deviry) is generally a safe option to help induce a bleed. However, because the previous course of norethisterone (Sysron NCR) did not trigger a period, it is possible your body's estrogen levels are currently too low to build up the uterine lining. While medroxyprogesterone is safe, it may not be fully effective if estrogen is low. I highly recommend discussing this with your gynecologist, who can check your hormone levels and safely guide your next steps.

While taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) for irregular periods, bleeding just 15 days after your last cycle started is often a common side effect known as breakthrough bleeding, rather than a sign of pregnancy. However, because irregular cycles can make ovulation unpredictable, pregnancy remains a possibility if you are sexually active. To ease your mind, the most reliable next step is to take a home pregnancy test. Please reach out to your doctor to discuss this new bleeding pattern and ensure your treatment is going smoothly.
