Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is not designed or effective as an emergency contraceptive. For emergency prevention, specific medications like levonorgestrel are typically used. Since you are experiencing a delayed period after previous emergency contraceptive use, please know this is a common side effect of those hormones. I gently recommend taking a home pregnancy test first to be sure. If it is negative, your cycle should return to normal soon. If your period is delayed by more than a week, it is best to consult your healthcare provider.

Your history of a thickened womb lining and underactive thyroid?for which you take thyroxine?are key factors here. Sometimes, hormonal fluctuations or changes in the womb lining can cause persistent bleeding that doesn't respond to your usual dose. Please don't worry, but do schedule an appointment with your gynecologist. They can evaluate your womb lining with an ultrasound and safely adjust your hormone therapy or suggest an alternative generic progesterone. Please continue taking your thyroid medication as prescribed and consult your doctor for a personalized plan.

It is actually quite common to experience only light spotting rather than a full period after finishing medroxyprogesterone (Deviry). Typically, a withdrawal bleed occurs within 3 to 10 days of completing the course, but the flow can vary depending on the thickness of your uterine lining. Please rest assured that this is a normal variation. However, if there is any chance of pregnancy, I recommend taking a quick home test just to be sure. If your full period doesn't start in another few days, or if you have any other concerns, consult your doctor.

When you do not experience a withdrawal bleed after taking medroxyprogesterone acetate (Deviry), it often means your estrogen levels may be low, or there is a temporary hormonal imbalance. Other possibilities include thyroid issues or elevated prolactin levels. Your best next step is to consult your gynecologist. They will likely recommend simple blood tests to check your hormone levels and perhaps a pelvic ultrasound to evaluate your uterine lining.

After finishing your five-day course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), it is completely normal for your period to start within 3 to 7 days after taking your last dose. For some women, it can take up to 10 to 14 days. This bleeding is a withdrawal bleed triggered by the drop in hormone levels. Since you have confirmed you are not pregnant, your body just needs a few days to adjust. If your period doesn't start within two weeks of finishing the medication, please reach out to your gynecologist for a check-up.

After finishing your course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), it typically takes about 3 to 10 days?and sometimes up to 14 days?for your period to start. Since it has only been five days, you are still well within the normal timeframe. I recommend waiting another week. If your period has not started after 14 days, it would be wise to take a home pregnancy test if there is any chance of pregnancy, and gently reach out to your doctor for guidance.
