Best Answer

When you're taking the progestin only pill, like norethindrone, you take the same pill every day with no seven day break. There are no placebo pills in the pack, and you must take a pill every day for protection. Bleeding is irregular in the first few months of using the mini-pill, but will soon fall into a bit more of a pattern, or your period will stop altogether.

It sounds like you didn't get very much information from the prescriber. Please read the package insert carefully, and contact your prescriber or pharmacist for detailed information. The progestin-only pill is a great method for many women, but you must be very exact about taking it at the same time each day. If you're more than three hours late in taking a pill, you need to use a backup method, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, for the next three days.

It's important that you understand these instructions to have success in avoiding pregnancy with the minipill.

How many days after the 7 day break do you bleed?

It depends on the oral contraceptive taken, and the person taking it to how many days into your break your period starts. With regular pill taking and time your period should be easier to predict accurately once your body gets into a regular 'rhythm'. It can start any number of days after taking the last pill in your packet, but usually starts during the 7 day break rather than after.

You are going on vacations and want to change date when period comes?

You can delay your period by not taking a break between the packs of pills. To do this you must take your birth control everyday and at the same time everyday. By doing this you have 99.9% protection from pregnancy. When you get to the day that you would begin your placebo pills, you must begin your new pack of active pills at the same time you have been taking your birth control. By skipping the placebo pills and starting your new pack of active pills, this will delay your menstrual cycle from starting that month.


If you are on birth control and you know when you are getting your period how can you change it so you won't be on your period at a certain time?

if you're on the pill, skip the "inactive" pills and start again on a new pill pack instead. the inactive part is what gives you your period. it's safe and everything. Just continue to take your active pills without a break or taking sugar pills and you will stop your period. It won't hurt you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist.
