Hi,

Welcome to the ehealthforum. I am glad to help you out. If you are pregnant, then the periods won’t come and since you have started the birth control pills, the periods (withdrawal bleeding) will come when for 1 week the pills are stopped. You should urgently consult a gynaecologist and in case you are pregnant, you should not be on the pills.

I sincerely hope this helps. Take care.
