Q: When Do You Get Your Withdrawl Bleed?

Hey all,
i'm wondering on what day of your placebos do you get your withdrawl bleed (period). It's my first cycle on marvelon and i'm on day 4 of the sugar pills, with no spotting or anything Shocked

. I checked the website and it said one is supposed to get it on the second or third day, I thought maybe this was an average so I was wondering. I know you're all saying "just go take a test" but i'd rather not have to drop $15 on a hpt if i'm just being over worried Confused

. Also if it makes any differnce I have been absoloutly religious about taking them, I set my watch to beep and haven't taken it more then 5mins after the 24 hour mark when you're supposed to. I know i'm probably just being worried for no reasons but i'd appreciate it if you guys could humour me and answer my question.

Im on marvelon as well.. And was worried my first month about when I was going to get my period. It didn't finally happen until the thursday (5th day in). If you don't get anything even after your back on your hormone pills, then take a test.. If you've had sex within this last month you could be pregnant, because when you start bc effects the time that you are covered.. What I read on the site was that if you start on the first day of your period your protected the week after.. However if you do the sunday start you are only protected a month afterwards. Hope this helps you out a bit.
