A member asked:

How long does it take to start your period affer you have taken 10mg of provera (medroxyprogesterone) for 10 days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A few days: Normally the Provera (medroxyprogesterone) helps build up the lining of the endometrium. When you stop the Provera (medroxyprogesterone) you effectively have a withdrawal bleed. It is not really a menstrual period however it appears to be the same thing to you. If it is over a week and you still don't have a bleed i would go back and be rechecked.
