When on the combined pill and you take your 4 day break, how long does it take to stop bleeding once you restart taking the pill?

Bleeding may continue for a few days after you restart the pill just until the uterine lining has completely emptied. Even if you take the combined pill continually there may still be a few days of breakthrough bleeding. It varies with every woman. If you are concerned speak to your ob/gym.

Not what you're looking for?
