Hi, I'm on the same sort of pill as yours. For me It normally takes a few days for the bleeding to begin. Say you finish the 3 weeks of pills on saturday, the bleeding may begin around tuesdayish? Although everyone is different and it can be more irregular if you haven't been taking the pill for long.

It is a strip. Until now i dont have it. I finished my second strip monday..
Well I'm on the same pill and my instructions say to take 3 strips (a box) and then take a break.. you sure you haven't been told the same?

Also with me it can take a few days before I start to bleed.. just take the required break and start the next strip on the day you are supposed to even if you don't start..
If you want to be sure that you're not pregnant, take a test :-)

The levest pill is awful.. I was only on it for a week an it gave me deep vein problems which is eaisly cause on levest, i was also 'spotting' the whole time taking levest italso made me feel very nausea, the doctor told me to stop taking levest as I was getting deep vein problems which was dangerous but anyway the day i stopped i was bleeding so much its unreal i was still bleeding the next 2 days too and i lost a lot of blood. I also had very bad nausea&vomiting. I would NOT recommend the levest pill!

Everyone is different, I'm on Levest and I'm fine. The side effects are well known and the doctors try to find out if you are likely to suffer from the side effects like asking about family history.

No, sorry. Check the info sheet with the pill to see if it's listed in the side effects. I don't have mine to hand to check for you.
I'm on levest and absolutely fine, only annoying thing is the spotting, it lasted almost 3 weeks but finally stopped. Also, if I take it a few hours late I get emotional and anxious
Does the levest pill ever stop your period
I've been on the lever pill since I was 16 due to heavy and irregular periods . By this I mean leaking through a night pad within less than 5 minutes ,, being on for months solids without stopping, stopping for a day and being back on for weeks or months . I've never had any issues since taking the pill but now I've started bleeding but I still have a weeks worth of pills to take in that strip before I'm due on????

I'm exactly the same on this pill I haven't had a period in 3 months! I thought it was just me
I have just finished my second strip of levest. Have taken the strips without a break and have just started my third strip. I have been bleeding non stop for 5 weeks now!!!! I was swapped onto this to try and stop my irregular bleeding that had occurred after 4 years of taking a different pill and not bleeding at all until last September when I had irregular periods every two or three weeks! I'm constantly drained and not to mention sick of what feels like an on going period that's now nearly lasted 6 weeks !!

I'm on this pill for only a short while and I'm feeling the benefits already. I'm now waking up in the mornings feeling positive and not feeling heavy with anxiety and a negative energy as I used to every single morning. I'm only taking it for pms and I'm not actually sexually active. I just needed these mood swings, suicidal thoughts and the pain that goes along with pms to stop.
