I'm on birth control, i take one pill a day, by mouth..and it's called LEVORA..thats the brand. On the last week of the pills, their a different color, and that's when im supposed to be on my period. I was wondering how many days after i start taking the dif. colored pills, will i get my period? I used to get it the day after i took a dif. colored one, but now i's been 2 days, and i just took the pill for the 3rd day a couple minutes ago and i still haven't started my period, so my question summarized. After i start my last week of pills, when will i get my period?

If you are young, still in your early teens, then your body is  still maturing and growing.  The time is takes for you to have your period after you start the different colored pills depends on a lot of things, including how regular you have been in taking your pills.  If you miss them often, then your period will come sooner.  The different colored pills are actually placebos, or sugar pills.  They don't have the medicine in them that the others do, and that's why you get your period when you are on them.  I wouldn't worry about your period too much unless you miss the next one in a month.  If you are really concerned about it, if you are worried about being pregnant, then go to the doctor and they will ask you more questions.

IF you are done with all of your green pills before your cycle comes on then you did to talk to your doctor. My cycle comes on during the 3rd or 4th green pill. As long as you take your pill every day then you have nothing to worry about. But I must warn you if you stop taking you pills in the middle of a pack you can be looking for your cycle for some months. I will never do that again 5 months later my cycle came back on I thought something was wrong with me.

Any type of pills that alter your reproductive hormones can mess your periods up. Like me, I'm on Yasmin and my period started a week early and I'm on my 8th day... not common for me at all! Did you do your week of inactive pills? Give them 3 months and if you're still messed up, I'd talk to your gyn about switching to another kind.

boy do I have a story for you!  I once had my period for 23 day straight.  I first went to my normal doctor and she did absolutely nothing.  No tests were run or anything.   I then went to the gyno hoping for an answer.  He preceeded to tell me that it was because I was fat and that the fat cells give off more estrogen and that can prolong your period.  I went home crying still not knowing exactly what to do about the problem.

well I would not expect the pill to protect you from pregnancy yet.  As I recall you have your period on the 4th week, and it's usually a few days later.  You need to have some kind of system to remind you to take your pill.

This shouldn't be a problem... although you may need to take a 2 week break before starting the new pill. My advice check with your doctor!

not to worry, basically what she can do is skip one day from the pill and continue taking the rest of her package for that month, missing one pill is fine as long as she doesn't keep missing them, i have had the same thing happen to me, also if she does happen to have a habit of missing her pills she may want to try going on the patch, you wear it for one week then change it, and she can wear one every week, and if has plans one week like going to the beach she wears the patch so she doesn't get her period, it has the same hormones as the pill does, just in a patch form and it is much more convenient. Hope this Helps!

That's very normal.  If you weren't aware, hormonal birth control (including the pills) essentially make your body think that you are pregnant. When you stop the pills once a month, your body realizes that it isn't, and rids itself of the uterine lining. Since you stopped the pills (particularly in the middle of a pack), your hormones and body are a little confused, and are trying to straighten themselves out.  Bleeding up to the length of a normal-long peridod very normal, and nothing to worry about. However, if the bleeding continues for more than a week, you should go see your gyno or health care provider to make sure everything is ok with your body.\n\nBest of luck,\n\nEssin' Em, www.hotmoviesforher.com

This is actually quite normal. Some women won't get a period for several months after taking birth control. I wouldn't worry yet about amenorrehea. Your NORMAL! Stop thinking about it and your cycle will pick up again. Your body is tricked into thinking your pregnant when your on the pill and it takes a while for all the hormones to leave your body.

Birth Control does the same thing to me. Its all the hormones in thel that can cause a woman to have irregular periods. Since you took 2 pills Monday, you doubled your intake of hormones, but didnt take any on Sunday. Your body probably just got 'confused' by the lack of hormones on Sunday, then double the hormones on Monday.\n\nSometimes it take up to a year of taking birth control for our periods to get back to 'normal.' And sometimes, after taking it for a year, we don't get our periods at all.

The awesome thing about the pill, to my mind, is the regularity it gives to cycles (plus the no-pregnancy thing).  But every now and then, the utter regularity will collapse and your period will start early or late, or you'll spot, or something else will go amuck.  I suspect this is your body trying to reassert itself against the hormones you are putting in it.\n\nIf you're sick, or you have been sick, that can change the absorption of the pill and cause your symptoms... I have particularly seen this with women with yeast infections taking Diflucan or the equivalent. It doesn't mean anything serious is wrong with you... it could just be one of those irritating things.\n\nIf you've been having sex, and you don't get your period in a few days, take a pregnancy test.  If, next month, this happens again, consult your doctor.

I was on Loestrin 24 for 1 month and I had to switch cause of too much bleeding. Now I am on ortho Tri cyclen and I haven't had no problems with them. And the good thing about it with orth tri cylen you'll always know when your period is gonna come on. So good luck with them because I love them.

I am sorry about the death in your family. You should always let your doc know about any changes that could affect your health. I pretty sure he will tell u to wait until the Sunday after your next period. Don't start now unless he tells you to, they might mess up your cycle. your pills will be fine for next month, there should be an expiration date on the packaging somewhere.

I got massive headaches when I was on the pill. When I started taking depo within a few months my periods stopped altogether. I might have two or three very light days a year. I've been on it for three years and haven't had any issues. I'm sorry to hear that other people have had problems, but for me it has worked really well.

Didnt the doctor tell u this will lessen your periods? Its normal. \n\n\nI've been on it for 6 months and I've had 3 periods, I even took a preg test once!. When I do get it, it will last like 3 days. Its different for everyone. If you're really worried you should call your doctor.

Hi - yes you are VERY fertile, so always protect yourself.\n\nYour body has to adjust to producing hormones on its own.  The pill was producing the hormones for you.\n\nThe time it takes to adjust is different for everyone.  Usually within 4-6 months your periods will regulate.  Some doctors say it can take 1 or 2 years if you have been on the pill for a very long time.\n\nIf you are experiencing oily skin and hair, mood swings, etc. - then your body is trying to get its period.  These are good signs.\n\nIn a couple of months if you still don't get it, go see your OBGYN as a precaution.  Hang in there.

My withdrawal bleeds are little more than some brown spotting over two or three days, not even enough to fill a tampon.  I use pantyliners instead.  It's normal.  Your pill is disigned to tell you rbody that it doesn't need to prepare the womb for pregnancy, so it doesn't build up much lining anymore - hence your periods get lighter.
