Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
After finishing medroxyprogesterone it is best if you wait for at least seven days for your periods to come. After your periods have started, you can resume with your patch as usual. I presume that you are perimenopausal and had normal periods prior to the patch.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
