Dr. Joshua Hurwitz answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

2-7 days after: Usually menses arrives 2-7 days after initating Provera (medroxyprogesterone) but it may take longe rin some women. If no menses occurs, go back to your prescibing doc as there may be other issues at work and hormone levels and an ultrasound may be useful at that point.
