Getting Ready for Round 2

So when my period still hadn't started 7 days after taking the Provera my RE said to start birth control pills anyway, that my lining was fairly thin and it would't matter, that was Wednesday. The past two days I've spotted a little bit, not much. I start my injections on 1/22 which is this coming Wednesday, I'll get my bathroom med area all prepped over the weekend.
