Provera for 10 days?

I've only ever taken it for 5 days, and AF would show up about 2 days later.  What about when you take it for 10 days?  Does it come before you finish or does it start after you finish?

I know this is a super-over-asked question, or a newbie-question, but my google/bump search didn't work

Yay!  I got the search to work!  However, if you wouldn't mind sharing your experiences, I'd appreciate it!

I believe the bleeding is usually triggered from the withdrawal from the drug (similar to BCP), so whether you take it for 5 or 10 days, you should start a few days after stopping.  However, you may bleed a bit heavier if you take it for 10 days rather than 5.  I believe I took it for 10 days the few times I needed it.

Ditto. I always took it for 10 days and bleeding started two days after the last pill.

I never take it for 10 days, just 5. Bleeding always starts within 2-4 days of my last pill.

I have only taken it for 5 days. I usually start to bleed around 4 days after the last pill.
