You can either take it (if you're a day late) or skip it and begin the new pack as scheduled.

When should you expect your next period if you started your pills on the first day of your period and you've used 3 weeks of pills and are currently on the last day of your sugar pills?

You should expect your period to arrive on or before the last day of the sugar pills. But sometimes you can arrive the next week after your sugar pills. It takes a while for BCP to get used to your body. This could be why you havent gotten your period.


Is it bad to wait a few days to restart birth control after being off it with sugar pills for your period Or do you have to wait to another week upon restarting another pack?

You start the new packet of pills the day after you take the last sugar pill, no waiting or delays - the bad thing about skipping a week is the very real possibility of pregnancy since a week of sugar pills followed by skipping another week of active pills means you may very likely ovulate before starting the new packet of pills. You need to use back up (like condoms) until you have taken 7 active pills over 7 days to prevent pregnancy, if you start a new packet even 1 or 2 days late.


When coming off the pill should you stop at the end of the pack before the sugar pills or after you have taken them?

I am not a doctor, so you should verify with one before making a decision, but to my knowledge you should take all of the pills in the pack. I also learned recently that the last pills in the pack are not just sugar pills anymore. Many of these pills contain important vitamins and nutrients that your body needs during your menstrual cycle.


You have been on Ortho Tricyclen for a few years and got breakthrough bleeding this month you missed two pills is that your period how long does it typically last?

If you missed tow pills and had breakthrough bleeding, resuming your pills should stop the bleeding. However, since you missed two pills you are not protected this month, so use a backup method of birth control.


Also which are the sugar pills Im guessing the last ones can you skip them?

If you don't know, check with your prescriber or pharmacist. A few birth control pills have no sugar pills, and there's no point in skipping active pills.


I missed one pill the day before I start the non-active pills and I started my period Should I take the last missed pill anyway tonight before starting my four non actives or start non-actives now?

No you should wait and ask your doctor


If you missed the last birth control pill before the placebo pills last month and this month started a new type of birth control pill are you more susceptible to get pregnant this month?

If you went more than seven days without an active pill, you're at increased risk of pregnancy until you've taken seven pills in a row correctly. The change in prescription doesn't increase the risk, but skipping the last pill can increase the risk if you followed that with seven days of sugar pills or no pill.


Is it normal to start your period on the last two days of the sugar pills and go into the hormone pills?

Hi :-) Yes, this is normal. There is no time limit for when you start your period during the sugar pills. As long as you start your period during the seven day worth of sugar pills then this is normal.


I missed the last white birth control pill before my period?

you will be fine. just to be safe dont have sex until a week after you are back on the real pills but nothing should happen.


Are the white pills taken when you have your periods?

no, take it before and you won't have your period the first three rows of pills have hormones in them that will regulate your period..the last row is actually only sugar pills and you are supposed to have your period on those pills. However, you can get pregnant on the pill if not taken exactly how you are supposed to.


What should you do if i've accidentally been taking the blue active pills during the week i should be taking sugar pills?

First, be reassured that you haven't increased your risk of pregnancy if you haven't missed pills earlier in the month. But I can't figure out where you got active pills during the week you should have been taking sugar pills. If you mean you started the next pack early, then you will need a refill a week earlier than you thought. Continue with that new pack, taking one pill per day. If you had a week of active pills left in last month's pack, then you must have missed pills that month, and you may be at risk for pregnancy. Contact your health care provider to learn about your options.


What does it mean if you usually start your period on the day you start your sugar pills but your last period didn't start until 4 days into sugar pills?

This sometimes happens with birth control.
