Title: When does the withdrawal bleed from Utrogestan start?
Post by: PippaSM on March 24, 2021, 01:21:08 PM

Hi everyone,
I've just started my first cycle of Utrogestan (monthly sequential) and was wondering when I can expect the withdrawal bleed, once I stop this cycle ( a few days after, a week?)
Also, how long do people's bleeds usually last for?
I know it's different for everyone but just wanted to get a vague idea.
My GP just said 'shortly afterwards'.
Thanks in advance, for sharing.

A few days probably, say 2 - 5, but we're all different....I've always found the bleed lasts a similar time to my natural periods, so 6 - 7 days.

About day 4 after stopping and yes mine is much the same as it was when I had normal periods, about 5 days.
