Is it normal for me to get withdrawal bleeding only on day 4 of the placebo? I take 24+4 tablets. Bleeding occurs on the 4th day of the placebo, and recently even appeared a day later - on the day of taking the first active tablet from a new blister. I read that you should usually appear on the 2-3rd day, occasionally later. And for me, it appears later all the time. What does this mean?

There is no rule for the duration and abundance of withdrawal bleeding. Bleeding does not have to occur on the same day in each cycle. What's more, the absence of withdrawal bleeding does not necessarily mean pregnancy or health problems. If you have taken birth control pills regularly, without missing any of the doses, bleeding is regular, there is no need to consult a gynecologist. If you are just starting to use hormonal contraception, it is most likely related to the switch of the hormonal axis to contraceptive pills and bleeding should spontaneously occur earlier at the next package. If the ailment of similar or greater severity persists in the next cycle, please contact your gynecologist.
