Hi, i've been on birth control for three years. I've switched brands a few times, but i've been on this brand for about a year, so that shouldn't make a difference.


My question is: what if I haven't had my period yet? This is the 6th day of my inactive pills and I have only had some dark splotches (i usually get that right before I start my period but I haven't started yet). I always start on the night of the third or the morning of the fourth inactive pill. One time I started on the fifth morning.

Is it normal to miss a period while on the pill? They were always really light, but I don't think that this splotching counts.


Could it be that i've been eating a lot more lately? I've probably put on about ten pounds in the last two months... But I put on and lose weight often and it's never effected me. Bleh........
