What was your first period like on the combined pill?

Just wanted to know what your experiences were with your first period on the combined pill? I’m about to have my 7 day pill free break from next Wednesday and was wondering when I should expect a period, how long it could last, if yours was heavier lighter than usual, more painful? Also when starting the next pack when does the bleeding usually stop?

Much lighter, far less painful. Lasted about 3 days. Everyone is different though :)
