TTC - withdrawal bleed confusion

[Lushfanatic123]

Hi,

New to this!

Finished my pack of Cilest on the 3rd January (took my last one in the packet). Had a period or withdrawal bleed on the 6th January for 4/5 days.

Had a whole month without the pill now and have come on again today (4th Feb). Does this count as a withdrawal bleed or a true period?

I'm confused!

Any help?

Many thanks

That'll just be the withdrawal.

I got mine after coming off the pill, didn't get a proper period until 6 weeks after that.

So I had a withdrawal bleed on the 6th Janaury, so this second one which started today is another withdrawal bleed?

I'd say this is your first period. It's been a whole month since your withdrawal bleed so I'd be fairly certain this is your period 😊

Hi @ManchNic

That is what I was thinking, it was like 28 days between them. Surely you only get one withdrawal bleed.

Fingers crossed it means my cycle has returned to normal.

I hope wherever you are on journey, it is going well.

I only read half 🙈🤦‍♀️ yeah that sounds like your period .
