Deviry (which contains medroxyprogesterone acetate) can sometimes cause temporary hair thinning or loss due to hormonal fluctuations. This is a known but relatively uncommon side effect. Typically, this shedding is temporary and resolves once your body adjusts to the medication or after you stop taking it. Please do not worry. I highly recommend discussing this with your doctor, who can monitor your progress and ensure this is the best option for regulating your cycles.

Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) helps regulate your menstrual cycle, but it does not act as a reliable contraceptive. After completing your 20-day course, you will typically experience a withdrawal bleed within a few days. Following this, your natural cycle and ovulation can resume quickly, meaning pregnancy is indeed possible if you have unprotected intercourse. If you are hoping to conceive, this can be a favorable time. However, if you wish to prevent pregnancy, please consult your doctor about safe contraceptive options that are compatible with your uterine fibroids.

When these pills are not taken daily at the same time, the uterine lining sheds irregularly, causing spotting. To help resolve this, it is crucial to take your remaining birth control pills consistently at the exact same time every day. It may take a couple of weeks for your hormone levels to stabilize and the spotting to stop. If the bleeding becomes heavy, painful, or continues after you finish this pack, please reach out to your doctor for a personalized evaluation.

After finishing a five-day course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), it can commonly take anywhere from 3 to 14 days for your period to start. Since your home pregnancy test was positive but the ultrasound was negative, it is possible the pregnancy is in its very early stages and not yet visible, or it could be a false positive. I highly recommend repeating a home pregnancy test in a few days or consulting your doctor for a quantitative blood hCG test to get a clear answer. Your OB/GYN will help guide your next steps.

Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is typically prescribed for 5 to 10 days, and bleeding usually stops within a few days of starting it. Since you are 42 and Pause (tranexamic acid) has not stopped the bleeding after eight days, it is very important to consult your gynecologist. They can safely evaluate the underlying cause of this heavy bleeding?which is common during perimenopause?and adjust your treatment. Please do not extend your dosage without their direct guidance.

The light brown spotting is a very common and harmless hormonal reaction to starting and then stopping medroxyprogesterone acetate (Deviry-10), even after just one day. However, black stools are not typically related to this medication. They are often caused by certain foods, iron supplements, or bismuth-containing medicines. If your stools remain black for more than a couple of days, or if you experience stomach pain, dizziness, or fatigue, please consult a doctor to rule out any digestive issues.
