Hello, I have been using Vixpo for almost 4 years, on June 30 I took the last active pill and then a placebo for 4 days. I didn't start another pack, there was bleeding from withdrawal that ended yesterday. When can I expect my period now that I have stopped taking the pills?

After stopping the Vixpo contraceptive pill, your menstrual cycle will need time to return to its natural rhythm.
The bleeding you had after stopping the pills was withdrawal bleeding, not regular menstruation. Usually, the first natural menstrual period after stopping birth control pills can occur within 4-6 weeks after the end of withdrawal bleeding. It is an individual matter and depends on many factors, such as the length of use of hormonal contraception, individual predispositions of the body or general health.
In addition, menstrual cycle disorders after stopping contraceptive pills are relatively common and can persist for up to six months.
