Is the absence of withdrawal bleeding when changing from Limetic to Elin normal?
Hi I took limetic tablets for 3 years. Recently I gave it up and the doctor prescribed me elin. Immediately after finishing the last pack of limetic tablets, I immediately started taking this elin the next day. I took them correctly, without any delays. But I am 4th day after the last pill and the bleeding is missing. Is this normal? Should I fly for a pregnancy test?

Thank you very much for your answer, just now spotting has appeared so I suppose it is rocking for bleeding. Yes, the doctor even told me to be careful for the first 3 weeks to avoid pregnancy 100%. However, despite being careful, I still have a phobia before the next pregnancy. I already have two children and that's enough.

Limetic is a tablet containing only progestin (one hormone, or "mini-pill"). When switching from Limetic to the two-component Elin tablet, it was necessary to follow the provisions of the leaflet from the section "Change from a method containing only progestogen (mini-pill, injection, implant or intrauterine contraceptive system secreting progestogen)". You can switch from a mini-pill to Elin every day, but in all cases, additional protection, such as a condom, should be used for the first 7 days of taking the tablets. Within a few days of taking the last tablet of Elin blister, you can expect withdrawal bleeding resembling menstruation. If you acted in this way and took the first blister of Elin correctly and systematically, then the absence of bleeding does not necessarily mean pregnancy. Even with proper use, occasional withdrawal bleeding may not occur. However, if there are any doubts, it is best to perform a pregnancy test.
