How long does the bleeding last while taking Axia Conti placebo pills? I am in the process of taking the first package and the bleeding appeared with the 4th tablet and lasted for several hours. Is this normal?

Yes. During the first months of using hormonal contraception, bleeding may be light, short, or non-existent. In addition, intracyclic spotting may occur. This is because the body gets used to receiving hormones from the outside and for the first 3 months this can manifest itself. If you have taken the pills every day, without skipping, at the same time - there is no reason to worry. Protection against pregnancy is certainly maintained. If the lack of withdrawal bleeding continues 4-5 months after starting Axia Conti - please consult your doctor. At the moment - I don't see any reasons to worry.
