I was wondering what the average time between taking the last active pill and beginning of withdrawal bleeding was with seasonale. The last time I did anything that could have resulted in a pregnancy was two months ago. About a month ago my doc suggested I skip five days of active pills to see if it would alleviate my ovarian pain. I had a period, and now it's time for the sugar pills. I stopped Sunday it's now Wednesday and I haven't started yet, so I'm probably being paranoid, but am wondering if it's normal for it to take awhile to start.
