What Causes Delayed Periods While On Althea Pills?

Hi I m done with my 21 tablet of althea pills I m now on my 4th day of 7 free pill days but I still don t have my period. My boyfriend and I had sex last Monday and we didn t do the withdrawal because I thought that it is still my safe day. While having sex, I have encountered withdrawal bleeding that came from me and I think thats one of the side effect of taking the pills. What should I need to do?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum.
I have gone through your Query & I really appreciate your concern about the problem you are facing.

As a physician I would like to tell you that you need not o worry about anything. As you were taking Althea21 tablets as prescribed by your physician, so you need not to worry about anything or even getting pregnant. Usually you get withdrawal bleeding while on 7 days free pills

I would also like to tell you that in many women there happens to be only 1-2 days spotting while on contraceptive pills which does not mean that you are pregnant. I would also like to tell you that if you still experience bleeding after sex, you should visit a obgy doctor to get a thorough checkup.

Thanks for Trusting & Posting your Query on this forum.
Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask any further question.
Have a nice Day.

Regards,
Dr.Abhijeet
