Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Soon after: Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is quite effective at regulating the menstrual cycle. When taken to effect a menstrual period, it is usually prescibed for anywhere from 5 to 12 days. When given for 12 days, the menstrual period will usually begin on the frist or second day after completing the 12 day cycle.
