Hi cherrygirl123, welcome back!

No one can say for sure when you will stop bleeding. It's dependent on how much lining you still have to shed. Since you have been bleeding I think you should stop fairly soon. On the chance that you haven't stopped by the end of your placebos you should begin the actives in your next pack on time. If you want to try and skip your period again you will stand a better chance of success if you switch to a monophasic pill, like Ortho Cyclen, one that has the same dosage of hormones in each active pill. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

You are probably experiencing what will be your pill-period, at least for this cycle. Your pill period is really withdrawal bleeding that is triggered when you stop taking your active pills. Your pill-period can be shorter or longer and lighter or heavier than when you were cycling naturally. Ok?

Take care,
