When To Expect Periods After Taking Birth Control Pills? Is It As Per The Dates On The Pill?

Hi, I had started my birth control pills a week late and have missed many doses. I am married and not too worried about getting pregnant, but my question is....should I expect my period when I would usually get it or when the new pack of pills says I should? I am asking because I would like to know when to take a pregnancy text and get accurate results. I should get my period this week and the birth control pill pack says next week. I have had frequent urination which I usually do not have and feel different. It may all be in my head. This would be our third child and I just feel different.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Usually the periods start from day 3 or 4 of the false pills. The periods may be absent or very light spotting in first few cycles if you are using the pills for the first time. Do start with the new pack irrespective of the periods.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
