A member asked:

Took 10days provera (medroxyprogesterone) after no menstration for 3 months. had a 4 day period, but it was not very heavy and pretty dark. shouldn't it have been heavier?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Hormonal response varies from woman to woman after provera (medroxyprogesterone) therapy. It will take 1-2 cycles to normalize.
