I Don't Start My Period Until 5 Days After the Last Pill...
Posted: 12-29-04 00:52am

I've been on triquilar21 for the past 3 months, I just recently got transferred to alesse, I haven't started alesse yet but in about a week I will start it. But i'm just wondering if this happens to anyone else....I noticed I don't start my period for about 5 days after my last pill. This caused concern the first two months because I was worried I was pregnant, but after the the 3rd month I realized the pattern. Just wondering if this happens to anyone else, like is it normal?

I think it's normal as long as you are regular each month. Could be the difference in doses of the hormones. I just started on ortho evra last month (the patch) and didn't get my period until I was 5 days off the 3rd patch (equivalent of the 5th placebo)
