late period first month on pill Posted: 01-21-08 07:20am


ive been on the pills for 3 weeks now im on a 28 pack just finised the pink ones on the 19th and now on the green ones, and i should be on my period right now mind you my period normally only lasts about 5 days. is it normal to be late on your first time taking the pills or can you miss it completely. I did have unprotected sex about two weeks after i started taking the pills, i guess im just worried about getting pregnant, so any words of wisdom from the wise would be awesome and greatly appreciated thank you!

I do have some words of wisdom =) I am a health professional that deals with BC. Almost all women do not have their period until 3-4 days into the PERIOD WEEK. The pill TAKES OVER your cycle, so it no longer matters about what used to happen, you are now on a new schedule! When you are on the pill, your period can start ANYTIME during the 7 DAY period week, and that is 100% normal! You still start a new pack after you are done with the old pack, NO MATTER WHAT.

thank you very much, i was panicking for a minute. also since it had already been two weeks since i was taking the pills consistently i was protected against pregnancy right? like my body had already adjusted to the pills?

You are protected from pregnancy after 7 days on the pill, so you were definitely protected at 2 weeks.

Lol. This is the exact same reason I came to these forums!! I was used to getting my period on day 1 from when I took them as a teen once, but when I took them as an adult, I didn't get my period until day three. As the months went by, I actually ended up not getting it until day 4 - it CAN change even while you're on the pills.
