If taking birth control when should you start your menstrual cycle?

Your period usually comes during the placebo pills week(sugar pills).


Is it normal to start your period in the first two weeks of taking birth control?

Yes. When you start taking birth control pills, your menstrual cycle will usually change. It will become lighter and less irregular. But when you start the pill, your menstrual cycle has to get use to the changes, and will start your cycle early because it will now be different because of the birth control pills. Your periods might be irregular the first couple of times after starting the pill


When starting birth control for the first time do you take the first pill or the sugar pill during your menstrual cycle?

You don't start with the sugar pills. You start with the first pill. If you are starting in the first days of your menstrual bleeding, you don't need to use a backup birth control method.


When can you switch birth control pills?

You can switch birth control pills at any time in your cycle as long as you take an active pill on the assigned days.


Is it normal to get your period after stopping birth control and then not having it for a month and half?

On hormonal birth control your menstrual cycle is suppressed, as you no longer ovulate you no longer menstruate, instead women get a withdrawal bleed due to the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills or stopping the pills. If you come off hormonal birth control then it can take a few months for your menstrual cycles to return thus it can cause irregular or absent bleeding.
