Since you're only taking it for about 10 days at a time, it doesn't usually stop your periods completely.

Should I bleed while taking Provera?

If you have any irregular spotting or bleeding during treatment this is normal and nothing to worry about. If you do not have a period after you finish a course of Provera, check with your doctor in case you are pregnant. Take the tablet as soon as you remember, and carry on taking the tablets at the normal times.
