While withdrawal bleeding typically starts 3 to 7 days after finishing medroxyprogesterone acetate (Deviry), it can sometimes take up to 14 days for your body to respond. Since your pregnancy test is currently negative, that is very reassuring. However, if your unprotected sex occurred recently, it might still be too early for an accurate reading. I recommend repeating a home pregnancy test in a few days using your first morning urine. If your period does not start within 14 days of finishing the medication, please gently consult your gynecologist to discuss the next steps.

Which medication, Deviry 10mg or Regesteron 5mg, is better for stopping heavy bleeding and safer for someone who is planning to get pregnant?

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.

Are Deviry and N-ethi tablets the same medication for treating polycystic ovary condition?

Deviry and N-ethi are not the same medication, although they are used for similar purposes. Deviry contains medroxyprogesterone, while N-ethi contains norethisterone. Both are different types of progestins (progesterone-like hormones) that help regulate your menstrual cycle and manage PCOS. Because they work slightly differently and have different strengths, they are not interchangeable. It is always safest to take the specific medication your doctor has prescribed for your body.

Is there a chance I could be pregnant if my last period started on May 1st, I had sexual activity without penetration on May 19th, took an ipill within 72 hours, and then took Deviry 10 mg for three days, especially since my stomach now feels bloated?

The chance of pregnancy in your situation is extremely low since there was no penetration, and you promptly took the emergency contraceptive pill (i-pill). The bloating you are experiencing is a very common, temporary side effect of the hormonal changes caused by both the emergency pill and Deviry (medroxyprogesterone). It is not a sign of pregnancy. Your next period may be slightly delayed due to these hormonal shifts. If your period is delayed by more than a week, taking a simple home pregnancy test can offer you peace of mind.

What could be the reason I still haven't gotten my period after two months, even though my pregnancy test is negative, a pelvic scan showed no cysts, and I completed a five-day course of Deviry tablets?

Since your scan and pregnancy test are normal, the delay after finishing Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) could simply mean your body needs a few more days to respond, as withdrawal bleeding can take up to 14 days to start. Other possibilities include temporary hormonal imbalances due to stress, thyroid fluctuations, or low estrogen levels, meaning the uterine lining was too thin to shed. I recommend waiting a few more days and then consulting your gynecologist, who can guide you on the next gentle steps to safely restore your cycle.

What could cause my period to be delayed after finishing a 7-day course of Deviry four days ago, even though I have PCOD, am not sexually active, and feel like my period is about to start?

After finishing Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), it typically takes 3 to 10 days?and sometimes up to two weeks?for your period to start. Since it has only been four days, your body is still adjusting to the hormonal shift. Having PCOD can also cause a slightly slower response. The feeling that your period is about to start is a very reassuring sign that your body is preparing for it. Try to stay relaxed, as stress can also delay menstruation. If your period does not start within 10 days, please reach out to your gynecologist for guidance.

How many days after stopping a 5-day course of Deviry 10 mg should my period start, and should I continue taking the tablets?

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.
