I was just wondering how many days after u
start taking the sugar pills should u get
ur period? If I have taken my pills
every day at almost exactly the same time,
is it possible that I could be pregnant?
I havent missed a pill yet. Im kinda
freakin out.

How many sugar pills have you taken? I
usually get mine on the 3rd day of sugar
pills.

You should probably get your period while
your still on the sugar pills, now which
day that will be differs with every
person. My first month I was freaking out
too, because I had had sex within the
first week of starting bc and I later
found out that I should have waited a
month (even though when I went to the
website for my specific brand of bc they
said I was covered after a week) but I
eventually got it on the thursday (5 days
into the sugar pills) wait for the week,
if you start back on your hormone pills
without having your period, and you
suspect that you may be pregnant, take a
test...

Girl, lemme join ya ^_^"... I posted
earlier about having gotten off bcp after
taking the first sugar pill (it was my
first month's supply), and I should have
gotten my period no later than tuesday
(5/18-- when the sugar pills would've run
out), but so far no sign of it showing up.
*shrugs* I even called the bcp company,
and they said that the sudden drop in
hormones (from me not taking the pink
pills w/ active ingredients anymore--
right bfore the sugar pills) should've
caused me to bleed, but so far I haven't
gotten anything. I've taken four hpts
that have all come out negative, so I
dunno what to make of all of this 
. I figure if my period doesn't show by
next week, i'll go to the doctor and
request a blood test to determine if i'm
pregnant or not. Soo... I guess we're
both in the same boat here ^_^". Lemme
know if anything changes! =)

No, no.. You just start the normal
pills.. Then 3 weeks later you start with
the sugar pills and your period should
come again

After being on oral contraceptives for a
while, your period will become more
regular and will lessen with each month.
Your period will usually begin about 2-4
days into the sugar pills. The first
month your period may last the usual 5-7
days but will lessen with each month. I
have been steady on birth control pills
for many years and now my period only
lasts 3-4 days and always begins on the
4th sugar pill. It will just take time
for your period to become regular. And
believe me, you will enjoy the regularity
and lessening of the period itself. Best
of luck!

My doc told me that you're protected when
you take the first pill of the first day
of your period when you start the
pills...
And it's funny to hear about the sugar
pills, we don't have those, we just have
to take no pills for one week

I usually stop my actives on monday and
get my period by friday...So that's 4 days
for me.
When I first started bcps, sometimes i'd
get a period and sometimes not. It was
my body getting used to the hormones.
Relax...
