I’ve stopped taking the pill and it’s been 3 weeks I think, how long does the withdrawal bleed last for?

🙂 After stopping hormonal birth control, most women will have withdrawal bleeding within two to four weeks. After this withdrawal bleeding, your natural menstrual period should come back itself the following month. This period will be heavier and longer than withdrawal bleeding.26 Nov 2018

The duration of withdrawal bleeding varies from person to person. However, if a person is taking the medication as directed, the bleeding should only last for a few days. If withdrawal bleeding does not occur within 3 weeks of when it is expected, it may be a good idea to take a pregnancy test or consult a doctor.8 Apr 2020

Are you saying you've been bleeding for 3 weeks? If so, it might be worth consulting your doctor to make sure that's ok.
