Period on Birth Control Pill
Hi all, this is a pretty simple question really, but just curious. To all you women on birth control when do you actually start your period? is it the day that you start the final week of pills or just some time in that week? Sorry if this is lame... and thanks in advance

Hi ~ I usually start the 3rd day going into my last week of pills so for me it's a Wednesday (now). I start my new pack on Sunday.

i've been getting mine on the last 4 days of the active pills and then going through the week of sugar pills lightly...its odd...i was going to ask the same question...i wish there was an add on question button lol. I was wondering if it was normal to get it during active pills?

I usually start 3 to 4 days into the inactive pills. However, I recently started a new kind and didn't get a period. I thought I might be pregnant and took 3 pregnancy tests. After talking to my Dr., she reassured me some pills are too strong so the lining won't develop. I went back to my old pills and now am hoping to get a period in the next few days. I don't like not getting one because I stress. I like the reassurance of it.

I usually get mine about 2 to 3 days before the last pill of the of the last row(the sugar pills). Meaning, 2 to 3 days before I start a new pack. Hope that makes sense.

I also usually start on the 3rd night or 4th morning after starting the "blanks" (the sugar pills in the last row).

Usually I start when the sugar pills stop. So 2 days into the off pills is typically my start date.
