Dear Doctor,
Thanks for the advice. I have taken my first cycle of diane 35 tablet
for 21 days. but i started it on my 10th day after period counting the
day of bleeding as first day. in the pack, it has been told that after
taking 21 tablets, there should be a week without pill in which time i
should get withdrawal bleeding. my pills got over on may 23rd. i
didn't get my periods still. by tomorrow, the 7 days period are getting
over. can i continue with the second pack? pls advise me. is there any
adverse consequences if i didn't get my withdrawal bleeding? i am very
scared abt this. pls advise.
