Period advice please?

Last month I came off the pill on a Monday, I didn't start my period until the Friday, I had to go back on the pill on Tuesday. And it was light but still painful.

This month, I took the last pill this Monday just gone, I still haven't started.

I was sexually active last month and took a two tests and was negative. I haven't been sexually active this month due to pain.

Should I go gp about it? Or come off pill? Bit worried this is happening for the second month, I have been diagnosed with endometriosis last year in December.

Thank you

Hey hope you are feeling okay :)

As far as I know this is completely normal and the time it takes for your withdrawal bleed to kick in just varies from person to person. I usually come on after 3ish days from my final pill, but this week I took my last pill on Sunday and only came on this morning.

I think as long as your bleed comes at some point during the 7 day break then it's not a problem, but if you start to not bleed at all during the week break then maybe just check with your GP as it may be an indicator of something else like anaemia etc.

Hope that helps x
