Question
i was on cilest for about 10 yrs, got off about a mth ago now i am having my period, i know experience varies as no 2 ppl are alike but how long should i expect my period to last

Answer
Usually when you go off the pill, your periods go back to the way they were before you started the pill.  Since you've  been on it for 10 years, that may be different, since your periods may have changed in the past 10 years had you not been on the pill.  It will probably last as long as your periods used to last, since it came about when expected.
