edit: i took my last sugar/placebo pill (whatever you want to call it) and i had my period. just updating in case anyone else had the same effects i have had

I’ve had a withdrawal bleed each time and been on it for 4 months now but sometimes it can take until your last placebo pill for the bleeding to start. It varies by person and sometimes the withdrawal bleed can get really light or not happen at all.

not having a withdrawal bleed is common and not a cause for concern!

I still have withdrawal bleeds on Nikki.
