Title: Everol sequi and periods?
Post by: Tots on July 30, 2019, 08:59:20 AM

hi ladies
I'm just about to go onto the Conti part of sequi patches and wondered when to expect a period and because it's a forced bleed is it going to last as long as usual?? Any info appreciated
Thanks

Hi Tots. The bleed usually happens within a few days of beginning the next box of patches as it's the withdrawal of the progesterone contained in the conti patches which triggers it. You may find that the first couple of bleeds are quite painful and heavier than normal but this should settle down after the third month. Hope this helps.
