Microgynon no withdrawal bleed and on fifth day of break is this normal?

[P2010]

Hi, I finished my first pack of Microgynon last Friday. I’m on the fifth day of the break but still no withdrawal bleed and no, I’m categorically not pregnant I wasn’t before I started taking it, and I haven’t seen my partner since I have. So I’m not worried about that, but just wondering if nkrm after first pack for it to be late til at least 5th day or no bleed at all? I’ve taken it peo properly. Also, I’ve not had any side-effects since I started taking it either, so I’m even starting to wonder if my body is absorbing it properly now the reason I opted for it was I still wanted a period and it seemed the most consistent with that and mainly as reassurance too when using as contraception so not sure what to do now

I usually get my period on day 3 after stopping. Also my periods were significantly lighter than they were without taking it, so much that they only lasted 3 days and barely any blood loss. Can't remember what happened the very first time, but I wouldn't be too worried yet.

I didn't have any side effects either, although many do and need to stop it as a result.

I'm on microgynon 30.

I always start a new strip on a Monday (I purposely chose to when I first started taking it because it seemed easiest, first day of the week and that).
So my pill free week was obviously Monday to Sunday. When I used to take it 'properly', as in 3 weeks pill then 1 week break for my withdrawal bleed, my bleed usually started on the Friday, so day 5. Saturdays and Sunday's so days 6 and 7 were when most of the bleeding happened, then on the Monday and Tuesday of the following week it stopped and was always completely finished by the Wednesday. (Nothing ever happened on days 1-4 of the pill free week. And I started the new strip on the Monday like it says to even if the bleed is still happening).

However now I take my pills back to back, without my week break. I do this for 6 months. So I take 6 strips in a row without a break. Then I have a break for 1 week, when I have my withdrawal bleed. Then I start again for 6 months. So I only have 2 bleeds a year, or a bleed every 6 months, as the months do not follow the calendar January to December.
It's brilliant and doesn't impact on me at all.

And I know it’s not recommended and I AM NOT suggesting that anyone else does this or tries this, but it works perfect for me so I’ll stick with it.

It's been quite a lot no time since I was on that pill. Bleeds came pretty soon after starting the pill free week, so a bit different to you.

But like you, zero side effects.
