This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am trying to conceive, and my gynecologist has suggested Deviry 10 milligrams for 10 days from day 17 to day 26. Is it safe?

Kindly advise.

Answered by Dr. Ali Osman

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern.

Yes, Medroxyprogesterone acetate, 10 milligrams, is generally safe when prescribed by a gynecologist, especially in individuals who are trying to conceive.

This medicine contains Medroxyprogesterone acetate, which is a form of progesterone. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle and supports the lining of the uterus. Taking it from day 17 to day 26 is a common approach to support the second half of the menstrual cycle, also known as the luteal phase, especially in cases of hormonal imbalance or irregular periods.

It does not prevent pregnancy when used in this manner. In some cases, it may help create a more supportive environment for implantation. After stopping the tablets, a withdrawal bleed usually occurs within a few days. If menstruation does not occur, a pregnancy test should be taken.

Mild side effects may include bloating, breast tenderness, or slight mood changes, which are usually temporary. If severe pain, heavy bleeding, or unusual symptoms occur, consultation with a doctor is recommended.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at iCliniq.

Thank you.
