Medical Conditions - Withdrawal Bleeding

Withdrawal bleeding is the monthly bleeding women on regular birth control pills experience during the pill-free period (or placebo week). Withdrawal bleed is not exactly the same as a menstrual bleed. It is caused by a slight change in hormonal levels and is much lighter than periods and also lasts fewer days.

When will withdrawal bleeding occur after a contraceptive?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Bleeding occurs due to high levels of progesterone present in the I-pill (Levonorgestrel). So it has caused withdrawal bleeding, and it shows that the pill has worked.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Hormones are used to delay or postpone menstrual bleeding. Hormones or medicines must start in advance, like a week or six days before.
