Will I Be Getting Periods During Placebo Week Of Birth Control?
Hi. I just started birth control again last Sunday. Which should be around mid cycle or towards the end of my cycle. Will I be getting my period during placebo week? And is the birth control an effective contraception this month? If not, will I be protected during the next pack?
