Any Suggestion For Having Bleeding Within 24 Hours Of Taking Last Cilest Pill?
I have been taking Cilest pill for about 2 years now and took my last pill from the pack yesterday normally I will start my bleed 3-4 days into the week break but I have started to bleed today less than 24hrs since taking my last pill. What could this mean?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The onset of vaginal bleeding during the placebo phase of oral contraception (the break period between packs) can vary from one cycle to the next.
Though there is normally a 3 to 4 day interval before your period would normally start , it is not abnormal for it to start the day after the last pill.
Once you have been taking the pills appropriately then you should be covered. Oral contraception can offer up to 99% contraceptive protection.
I hope this helps
