A member asked:
I've just started taking the pill for nearly 2 months now. is it normal to have delayed bleeding in the 7 pill free days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: When you switch to the last 7 pills this triggers a hormone withdrawal bleed. There is not a set day for this to occur and will vary from persons to person and even month to month.
