After finishing a 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 you have PCOD, your hormone levels can take a little longer to respond and adjust, even while taking metformin. I recommend waiting a few more days. If your period still hasn?t started by day 14, or if you suspect pregnancy, please reach out to your gynecologist for a quick check-in.

Yes, it is safe and very common to take Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) for abnormal uterine bleeding, as your doctor suggested. Deviry is a progestin hormone that works by regulating your uterine lining to help control and stabilize irregular bleeding. Since your doctor has evaluated your health and prescribed this 5mg dose, it is highly recommended to follow their instructions. You might experience mild, temporary side effects like bloating or breast tenderness. Please reach out to your doctor if you have any concerns or experience unusually heavy bleeding.

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.

Prolonged or irregular bleeding despite taking medroxyprogesterone can occur due to hormonal imbalance, uterine causes like fibroids or polyps, thyroid issues, or other underlying gynaecological conditions. Since your bleeding has continued for 15 days with only partial relief, it is important to consult your gynaecologist again for reassessment. You may need further evaluation, such as an ultrasound or blood tests, to find the exact cause and adjust treatment accordingly. Do not stop or change the medicine on your own. Seek medical care promptly, especially if bleeding increases, you feel weak, dizzy, or develop other symptoms.

Please be reassured that experiencing some irregular bleeding or spotting shortly after taking Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is quite common as your body's hormones adjust. This secondary bleeding can happen as your uterine lining stabilizes after the medication. I recommend keeping a simple log of the days and the flow of this bleeding. Since your hormonal cycle is resetting, it is best to reach out to your gynecologist. They can evaluate your specific progress and ensure everything is returning to normal.

A low hemoglobin of 8 represents significant anemia, which can stress your body and occasionally delay your period. Regarding Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), a withdrawal bleed typically starts 3 to 10 days after completing the 5-day course. If it has been longer, please take a home pregnancy test if applicable, as pregnancy is a common reason for a delayed cycle and a non-responsive progestin challenge. Other factors like thyroid issues or stress could also be involved. I highly recommend consulting your gynecologist to check your hormone levels and safely manage your anemia.
