It is quite common for your period to take up to 10 to 14 days to start after finishing Meprate (medroxyprogesterone acetate). Since it has been eight days, your body may just need a little more time. Additionally, your slightly elevated TSH level of 5.98 indicates mild underactive thyroid activity, which can also contribute to irregular cycles and delayed bleeding. I recommend waiting a few more days. If your period does not start within two weeks of stopping the medication, or if you suspect pregnancy, please consult your doctor. They can help evaluate your thyroid and guide your next steps.

Yes, pregnancy is still possible, although the risk is lower if there was no ejaculation. Pre ejaculatory fluid may occasionally contain sperm, and women with PCOS can ovulate unpredictably, making it difficult to determine the fertile period. A home pregnancy test taken on 10 June may have been done too early, especially since the intercourse occurred on 29 and 30 May. It is advisable to repeat the test at least 2 to 3 weeks after the last unprotected intercourse or get a blood pregnancy test for a more reliable result. Meprate Tablet (medroxyprogesterone) is commonly used to induce periods in women with PCOS, but it is generally recommended to confirm that you are not pregnant before starting it. If the repeat pregnancy test is negative, you can discuss with your doctor whether it is appropriate to start the medication. If your periods remain irregular, a follow-up with your gynaecologist is advisable.

The bleeding you started today is what we call a "withdrawal bleed." When you finished your five-day course of Meprate (medroxyprogesterone acetate), the hormone levels in your body dropped. This drop signals your uterine lining to shed. While it is technically triggered by stopping the medication, it essentially acts as your period for this cycle. This is a very common, expected response and shows that the medication worked exactly as it was supposed to. Please rest assured this is completely normal. If you experience unusually severe pain or heavy bleeding, do check in with your doctor.

Please be reassured that taking progesterone medications like medroxyprogesterone (found in Meprate and Provera) or dydrogesterone (Duphaston) under medical supervision is generally very safe. In fact, using these hormones to regularly shed your uterine lining actually helps protect you against uterine cancer, rather than increasing your risk. However, while these tablets are a safe temporary solution to induce a bleed, they only treat the symptom, not the cause. At 24, it is highly recommended to work with your doctor to find out why your periods are irregular, so you can address the root cause and support your natural cycle.

It is very common to wait 3 to 10 days after finishing your Meprate (medroxyprogesterone acetate) course before your period starts, so please don't worry. Since you want to get pregnant, your missed periods and thyroid level of 3.9 are important clues. While 3.9 is often in the normal range, doctors generally prefer thyroid levels below 2.5 when planning a pregnancy to support healthy ovulation. I recommend taking a pregnancy test if your period doesn't start within 10 days of finishing the medication, and then consulting your doctor. They can easily help optimize your thyroid and cycles to beautifully support your pregnancy journey.

Meprate (medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a hormone helper. After you finish the course, your body's hormone levels drop, which triggers your uterine lining to shed. While this withdrawal bleed typically starts within 3 to 7 days, it is completely normal for it to take up to two weeks. The spotting you are noticing on day 11 is very likely a gentle sign that your period is on its way. However, if the spotting continues without turning into a full period, or if you experience severe pain, it is always a good idea to check in with your doctor for peace of mind.
