Q: Are You Supposed to Get Your Period the Same Day?

Hi. I'm currently taking trileven-28 and it's been about 6 months that I have been taking it. Everytime I have gotten my period it has been on the wednesday when i'm on the sugar pills (sunday start). Last time I had my period; however, I got my period on thursday morning instead and it was pretty normal, except the fact that I didnt get it on wednesday. When taking birth control do you always get your period the same exact day or can it fluctuate one or two days like it happened to me? I'm just wondering because when it happened I was kind of worried. Thank you for any comments anyone might have.

I get my period every wednesday too, and it usually is the same but I would worry if it was only a couple hours late.

My first month I got my period on thursday morning... Every month after that so far i've gotten it later at night (around 9 or 10 pm).. First I was worried, but figured that my body was just getting used to the change, I don't believe that you have anything to worry about, it could have just been caused by taking one pill late or something too.. But as long as you got your period, I don't think you have much to worry about.

I have been on the pill for 14 years, and I normally get my period on a tuesday, depending on if I take the pill the same time everyday I have gotten it a day earlier or a day later I dont think you have anything to worry about
