Last month I got my period on the 26th of January with birth control. I wasn't on top of my perscription and started a new pack 21 days ago, or February 12th. Should I have gotten my period around February 26th or will my period come in 7 days/ near the end of my pack?

Hello,

Welcome to ehealthforum

Birth control pills may cause slight variation in the cycle and it is common to have irregular periods if you are on them.Usually periods occur when you are on the placebo pills as it is withdrawl bleeding due to the pills being not taken.
Periods might start soon in a week time.Relax and avoid stress as it may further delay the cycles.Consider taking the pills regularly for better efficacy and regular cycles.
If periods do not start even after 10 days then consider visiting a Gynaecologist for evaluation.
Take care!
