To my knowledge the last week of birth control pills are placebos. That means they are simply sugar pills that help keep you in a routine. I think the lack of regular birth control pills during that last week cause you to start your period because you stop the hormones associated with those pills. Of course, I haven't taken them for over 10 years and the new types may be different.
Break through bleeding is quite common in the first few months, you should continue taking the pills in the packet - after they are gone begin a new packet.
in between 2001 and 2009
I would start on that Sunday. I took the pill for years and started the new pack 2-3 days after my period started. It is just important that you start to take them again otherwise they don't work.
Progesterone doesn't start your period, it's actually the drop in progesterone that starts your period. Progesterone caused the uterus lining to build up, if pregnancy doesn't occur the progesterone level drops causing the uterine lining to break down - menstruation.
If you have finished with the pills and the faux pills, had your period, then you start the new set of pills after the last day of your period.
you will get your period when you start taking your "period" placebo pills in your pack
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.
You start your period when on the sugar pills. Your period should start within three days of your first sugar pill - the exact time will differ from woman to woman.
You should not be pregnant when you start taking the pills as you start taking them within a week of the start of your period and if you have a period you are 99.5% sure you are not pregnant. However if you are pregnant the pills will have no effect.
This sometimes happens with birth control.
Hello. Yes if you start your pills earlier you will start your period within four weeks. If you miss any pills, you will start your period earlier.
You should still get a period each month while on birth control. You will usually start your period during the week that you take your placebo pills, because they have no hormones in them. If you skip the placebo pills and start your active pills instead, this will delay your period.
Period time disturbed
Hi, Your question is: Should my period start the first day after I am through the hormone pills in a birth control pack?Not necessarily no. Your period will arrive anytime during the 7 days when your on the placebo pills or not taking any pills.
Keep taking your pills all in order-do not skip any active pills...did you miss any pills -sometimes that can cause you to start your period early...also-maybe put a call in to your doc- if you didn't miss any pills,you shouldn't start your period while still taking active pills
As soon as you start your sugar pills on the new pack, or a little after you start taking the sugar pills.
