My period was 40 days late, my pregnancy test was negative, and I finished a 5-day course of Deviry on April 14th; now that I am having light, dry, dark brown spotting, is this normal bleeding from the medicine, and does it mean I am definitely not pregnant?
Hello. It is completely understandable to feel anxious, but please be reassured. The light, dark brown spotting you are experiencing is a very common and normal response after finishing your 5-day course of Deviry (medroxyprogesterone). This spotting is just old blood shedding as your body responds to the hormone drop, which is how the medication helps reset your cycle. Since your pregnancy test was negative and you are experiencing this withdrawal bleeding, it is highly likely you are not pregnant. However, to be absolutely certain, you can repeat a home pregnancy test in a few days. If you have any ongoing concerns, please reach out to your doctor.
