A member asked:

I took provera (medroxyprogesterone) 7/10 days.my dr said to stop taking it because of symptoms i had.started having brown discharge today. is this normal & is this cd1?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It's normal to have bleeding when stopping provera (medroxyprogesterone). It is cd1, although you apparently don't have regular cycles, or you wouldn't be taking provera (medroxyprogesterone).
