Once you stop taking the Provera, your body thinks that fertilization did not happen and that the corput luteum is dead.
I have PCOS, my doctor prescribed me Provera 10mg for 10 days to start having a period again. i started in july and the 11th day had a very heavy period. If your lining has been exposed to 10 mg of Provera x 10 days over the past three months, the medication may have thinned out the lining so much that there is not a lot to be shed. What I would suggest to you is to wait until 10 days have past since the last Provera pill. If still no flow has occurred let your GYN know Ive been having my cycle like I should, 2 days after getting off provera, normal flow and length(about 5 days). Well in June, I ended my cycle of provera and didnt start bleed till 5 days after being off the pill, then the bleeding stopped after a day. That was 13 days ago. Continuing to take birth control pills does not assure you will conceive. Just because you have a period doesn't mean you will definitely conceive. In fact, taking the pill will stop ovulation and in some women that continues for a while beyond the end of the pill-taking term. USES: Medroxyprogesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin). This medication is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. This medication has several uses.  Depo-Provera is the brand name of the drug medroxyprogesterone, which is an injection used to prevent pregnancy. A form of this medication may also be used to treat endometriosis (a condition where tissue that lines the uterus grows in other areas of the body). Depo-Provera is in a class of drugs known as progestins.  I have been taking Provera 10mg. I take one a day for 10 days. I usually start my period about 3 days after the last pill and my period is light and only lasts about 3 days. I wait 14 days from the first day of mestrual bleeding to calculate my approximate ovulation day. Continuing to take birth control pills does not assure you will conceive. Just because you have a period doesn't mean you will definitely conceive. In fact, taking the pill will stop ovulation and in some women that continues for a while beyond the end of the pill-taking term. Yes | No Thank you! Provera can take up to 14 days to induce a period after taking your final pill. Give it that time and if you still don't have a cycle call your dr and schedule an appointment to talk about your next step and possibly other options. posted 04/30/2012 by elizabeth.tennant.

With Provera, you are not supposed to start bleeding until after you have taken all ten doses. This is because Provera mimics the rise in progesterone at ovulation. The reason they give you 10 days it that it mimics a natural luteal phase. The drop in progesterone is what causes you to start your period. So the way Provera is supposed to work is that you take it for ten days and your body thinks you ovulated. Once you stop taking the Provera, your body thinks that fertilization did not happen and that the corput luteum is dead. So the DROP in progesterone is what causes your period to start. The Provera doesn't always work for everyone on the first go. Most docs/midwives start you on a 10mg do
