What Happens If A Single Dose Provera Missed?
Question: I started medroxyprogesterone yesterday morning, 1 tablet in the am, 1 in evening to delay period for a week. However I started spotting tonight any suggestions?
Brief Answer:
Stop taking medroxyprogesterone.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If the spotting has already started then there is no use of continuing the tablet. It can cause the spotting to stop in next 3-4 days. The spotting or mild bleeding may even continue. Your period has already started. You started the hormonal tablet late.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
