Is Fresh Blood Spotting Normal After Delayed Periods Due To Pills?

I was on period delaying tablets due to going on holiday. I was on them for 3 weeks. I got my period 2 days after coming off of the course and finished my period 2 days ago (7 day period) I ve now started again with fresh blood spotting. Is this normal or does it need medical help?

Hallow Dear,

Usually within 4-7 days after discontinuation of pills withdrawal bleeding starts. Such bleeding stops within 5 days.

However, your withdrawal bleeding started within 2 days and continued for 7 days. Even after stopping the bleeding, it restarted again after few days. This is not expected. It is denoting some hormonal imbalance. It can happen if you have taken Oestrogen only pills. I will advise you not to neglect it. Please report to your Gynaecologist ASAP. You may need low oestrogen birth control pills cyclical treatment for about 3 months.

I hope this helps you.
