4-5 days: Sometimes longer. Are you taking prover for 10 days or depoprovera every few months?

It varies: This should be viewed as a period, even though it has been brought on artificially. A normal period can be anywhere from 2 to 10 days. In your situation there has been a lot of time for your uterine lining to build up, so it is not surprising that this bleeding is heavy.
