While taking Zoely, I have a heavy cycle that lasts more than 5 days, is this normal?

Heavy menstrual bleeding lasting more than 5 days while taking Zoely pills may be normal, especially at the beginning of hormone therapy. Some women experience irregular bleeding or spotting in the first few months of using birth control pills.

However, if heavy bleeding persists for a long time or causes discomfort, it is worth consulting a doctor. This may require adjusting the dosage or changing the tablets used.

In general, abnormal menstruation is defined as bleeding that occurs more frequently than every 21 days or less than every 35 days and lasts more than 8 days. However, if you are using a hormonal contraceptive such as Zoely, these norms may vary.

If you have any doubts about your cycle or how the pills work, it is best to consult your doctor. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:
