A member asked:

Is it ok to take provera (medroxyprogesterone) 10 mg for 2 days and then take loestrin(ethinylestradiol and norethisterone) afterwards?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I don't know why: I can't imagine why you would want to do this. You can just start the loestrin without needing to take the provera (medroxyprogesterone). You either start it the Sunday after your period starts, day 1 of your period, or mid cycle with the use of condoms for the first package.
