Q: Started pills before period ?
asked by: cadala on March 10th, 2009

I was given birth control pills this week (Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO), and since I am not sexually active, my doctor told me to go ahead and start them. I took the first one yesterday (Sunday) and took another today as directed.

My period was supposed to have started yesterday or today, and before this I had all the normal signs (cramping, bloating, irritability) but aside from some slight spotting, I haven't had anything like my normal period. Did starting birth control like that just reset my cycle? Am I going to get my period at all, or not until the end of the packet? Any help will be appreciated! I'm really confused! Thanks
