How long can my period last on the pill? I have been taking Alyssena 28 for 2 years and for the first time my period lasts 7 days (I took the first pink pill tonight and I still have blood loss) is this normal?

Hello,
In order to answer properly, I need to validate some information
Have you had any recent changes in your lifestyle (physical activity, diet, anxiety, sleep, etc.)?
How long does your bleeding normally last?

usually it lasts about 5 days and it lasts 7 days

The duration of bleeding may vary from period to period and from girl to girl. Perhaps increased fatigue or physical exertion could be the cause of increased bleeding. As long as it doesn't last more than 7 days, it doesn't seem like a problem
I suggest you see how it evolves at your next period. If your bleeding becomes heavy and lasts longer than 7 days, I would advise you to review your pill regimen with your doctor. For the time being, you would have nothing else to do
