Is it normal that I have had my period for 10 days? I take the pill continuously.

Question

After a sexual relationship I bled, but I still bleed often, usually it stops the same day but it's been 10 days so I guess it's my period! I am taking the Alesse pill, I have been taking it for 4 years but I started taking it continuously for 3 months. I have never stopped taking it since 3 months, my bleeding is not abundant but I have a stomach ache

Hello, In order to answer your question, I need to validate some information What kind of pill are you taking? How long have you been taking it? When was your last break? Is your bleeding heavy or is it spotting? Thanks for the clarification. In my opinion, a break could be good for you. Sometimes, when taking the medication continuously, the body may still need to take a break for 7 days. When there is light but constant bleeding, it is a sign to stop.
