How Does Taking Contraceptives Effect The Menstrual Cycle?
I started my first pack of birth control pills on Friday January 30th which was the 5th day of my period. My last pill is tomorrow. I track my period and i am not suppose to get my period for another 3 days starting tomorrow so February 22. i am not sure what i am suppose to do if that is the case. do i start a new pack of pills or just take my sugar pills until it starts. and if i start a new pack is it okay to take during my period? I m not sure what to do

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You can take the pills according to the schedule, using the 21 active pills and the inactive pills are they would normally be taken.
If this means that you start a new pack during the period then this is fine, many persons actually start the pill the first day of their period.
I hope this helps
