I've taken provera 5-6 times now.  Most times I get it 3 days after the 5th pill.  However, last time I got it TEN days after, and I was FREAKING out because that never happened before, and I was sure I was pregnant.... but af finally showed up

i've taken it 3 times in the past 5 months, i had to take 1 pill for 10 days, the first time i got it on day 3, the 2nd time on day 11, and this last time i didn't get it until 10 days after my last pill.... i guess it depends on what's going on with ur system each month..

I took provera my last cycle on April 20 and I didn't start my period until May 4. It wasn't as heavy as my regular af either.. But it is not supposed to take that long though (could it be why I didn't ovulate???) If I'm not mistaking the dr said af should start about 5 days after the last pill.

I just started Provera also - 5 days - I'm on my 3rd day.  
I am hoping to get my period about 1-3 days afterwards.  I'll keep you posted.  I've heard it can be as little as one day and as many as 10, different for every person and maybe just depends on your cycle.
