Hi, I think you should wait for at least 2 weeks after completing the course of medroxy progesterone acetate for your periods. It takes around 1 to 2 weeks for periods to come after stopping the tablet. So, don't worry. If periods don't come after 2 weeks also, consult your doctor. You may need some other medicines like a combination of estrogen and progesterone for inducing periods. Hope I have answered your question.
