Pill question (7 day break)

I've been on the pill since i was 12 (very painful periods) and when I used to be on microgynon i used to have my period about 3 days after i stopped taking the pill for the 7 day break.

now i've changed to dianette it doesn't start till day 6-7 of the 7 day break. is it normal or should i see a doctor. i've been on this pill way over 6-7 months now.

Yep. Mine have gone from 3 days after last pill to 5-6 days after last pill and I've been on microgynon for the last 4 and half years. Doctor says it's fine. :smile:

You shouldnt be on dianette for too long though, so I was told, I was taken off it after 6 months and moved to Marvelon

I was using it for PCOS too =) Marvelon is also for PCOS which was why I switched to that one
