Good morning, I have been taking Elin tablets for over a year. Bleeding always occurred at the 19th tablet and lasted about 4 days. This time, however, it did not occur, and I finished the blister yesterday. Is this normal?

Within a few days of taking the last blister tablet, you can expect menstrual withdrawal bleeding, that is, after 21 days of use. Bleeding may persist until you start taking the tablets from the next blister. During the seven-day (7) break in taking the pills, there is no need for additional contraceptives, provided that the tablets have been taken correctly and that the tablets from the next blister are started on time. It is necessary to wait a few days for bleeding - so far there is no reason for concern, if it does not occur within a week - to perform a pregnancy test to exclude pregnancy. No contraceptive method is 100% effective, it is worth considering whether drugs that weaken the effect of contraception have not been used recently. I recommend watching a helpful video:
