I am on my 4th day of stopping and I still don't have my period, is this normal?

I have been taking Alesse for 3 months now, following the withdrawal of Kyleena.

Thank you for your question!

Yes, this is common, especially in the 6 months following a change of contraception. This does not necessarily indicate a problem and I invite you to continue taking the contraceptive as planned if you are willing to do so :)

I hope I've put your mind at ease, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate!

Thank you very much, you reassure me! I thought it took 3 months to get back to a normal cycle and flow!

It is between 3 to 6 months in most cases :)
