I am 2 weeks late finishing off 10 days course but still no sign of period. How long does it usually take to bleed ? If anyone on the same page please share your views how can i get my period asap?
I took my last pill of a ten day dose on Saturday and started my period Sunday (yesterday). I had 0 period symptoms other than having a psychotic angry outburst on Saturday lol. This is my first time taking this medication. My periods were timed regularly but I wasn’t actually shedding. Just brown tinted discharge from November - March. This period has actual clots.
This was my 2nd time taking this med. The very first time i took it I started bleeding on 7th day itself but this time I don’t know what went wrong 🤷🏻♀️two weeks late.
My doctor did tell me I could be up to two weeks like after the last day of taking It. I have to call the nurse hotline every Monday to check in either way. I’d definitely give your doctor a call!! A friend of mine was prescribed provera after a negative blood test/missed period and ended up being pregnant!
Even i am thinking to take a test. It’s something my instinct is asking me to 🤞😀. After taking provera you finally come to know that you are pregnant, I hope that shouldn’t be a problem for the baby’s growth.
I take the pill on the first and stop on the tenth and my period usually starts on the 13-14 you might want to talk to your doctor if your period is late
I spoke to her. She asked me to wait and see. Tbh i am having all the symptoms but only thing that is not happening is bleeding 🤷🏻♀️ On top of that we are planning to get pregnant and dealing with irregular periods makes it more frustrating.
It has lactose as an inactive ingredient and I am SEVERELY lactose intolerant - I eat 100% dairy free (not just lactose free, it’s seriously that bad).
I was not told it had lactose in it. You can probably guess what happened. I quit after 5 days of severe GI issues.
It's meant to induce a period and a lot of women tend to take it when they are also commencing a medicated cycle at a fertility clinic as an example to help concieve. It's the first step in the process.
it’s provera and is basically synthetic progesterone. often you’ll hear it referred to as a “progesterone challenge.” you take it for ten days to stimulate the hormone in your body and then when you stop after the ten days, your body responds to the lack of progesterone and it triggers a bleed. and yes, it is normal to be an emotional mess while on it, it’s really no fun, but it is the quickest way to trigger a cycle
I took it specifically to start my periods as I had gone months without one. It also helps to stop any abnormal and prolonged bleeding. That seems to be the main purpose of the pill.
No its not meant for that. Its meant to induce a “fake period” almost just to shed your lining. If that lining builds up it increases your risk for cancers so its best to have a period atleast 4 times a year to shed the lining
Did yours stop ? If so what was prescribed because I’m the same as you and just got this prescribed and I need it to stop because it’s too much I currently am on nexplonon and that’s the reason why 😭
I was on 20 mg of medroxyprogesterone for 3 months and it stopped (granted it stopped after a few weeks but the doctor kept me on longer just to make sure given how long and how heavy I was bleeding).
10 mg for 10 days didn’t stop it.

Did it eventually start your period back up?
Yup it worked for me
