I am on the pill and my last day is Sunday. I never start my period before Thursday. So I wouldn't be to worried. It has always been that way for me.

I think you're experiencing the side effects of coming off the pill.  Remember, bcps are hormones, now your body is having to adjust to your own level of hormones.\nIf the HPT's are coming back negative - I would quit wasting your money for right now, give yourself another week or so and if you still don't start, then try taking another HPT.

It's not really your period, it's called break through bleeding.  Call your gyno.  Are you new to the pill?  It's a common side effect, but it does increase your risk of gettting knocked up, so talk to your doctor and see if you need a different pill.

Be thankful for small mercies.  Seriously, are you on the pill?  Maybe you just think you have enough body fat?  Consult a Dr. if it persists.

same thing happened to me, as soon as you stop taking the birth control for 5 days have a normal period. wait until it stops before taking the pills again. see a doctor if it doesnt work

I lost like 15 pounds because of the Birth control pill. I know that sounds GREAT but not in my case because now I am too skinny, so right now I'm trying to gain the pounds back. I know most women gain weight instead of losing. I'm going to my GYN to change my pills in two weeks. Enjoy it if is working the way you wanted to!

Don't freak out too much, it could be nothing!  I took birth-control pills for exactly the same reason and then just stopped taking them, my body flipped out and I felt really sick and my period was irregular for months.\n\nWait untill you finish your period this time and then start the pills, just as you did the first time.  You're okay.\n\nIf you're really worried, go to your doctor for more information.

I takes a while for it to get out of your system, that is why you typically are given it every three months.  Even though it was Feb when you took it, I have seen some people still covered by it as far as birth control goes a little longer. Just keep trying!

Yes, this is fairly common, although some people have the opposite effect.  You could try a different pill.  Everyone reacts differently to every pill.  There's one out there that works for you; it just might take a few tries to find it.

If you are on Yaz, you should be having shorter periods rather than longer.  It may be that your next cycle will be easier if you have just started taking it, but if not I'd suggest going back to your doctor and asking about a different pill.

In this case, you'd be strarting as if you never used the pill before. Usually the package has it all spelled out. You can start on the period, or you can start at random time BUT you'll HAVE to use a back-up method for that cycle. That means, paying for condoms. Might as well pay the full price for pills and do it right and not worry about it.

I was just put on seasonal. The great thing about this pill is that you only have your period 4 times a year. There are little side affects like the others. Its a great form of birth control without the hormonal side affects. Its a new pill put out less than a year ago i think. Check with your doctor.

I had the same thing happen to me and my birth control wouldn't stop it. You should visit the doctor but what he told me was to keep taking the pill until the pack was finished then he started me on some with lower hormones.And within a few days I was back to normal.

First of all, quit panicking.  The stress you mentioned you're under is the likely cause.  My "monthly" has never been regular--except when I was on the pill.  \n\nWhy?  Some women, especially those who are very skinny or quite overweight tend to have more irregular cycles.  You add stress to the mix, and your hormones can get all out of whack.\n\nTwo things you need to do.  First, begin an exercise program.  This will help reduce stress, even if you don't fall into the overweight category.  Next, find a planned parenthood or other women's health clinic. Often they don't require insurance and will work with you on payments, and usually have a sliding fee depending on income.  You can talk with someone about what you should do.  I'm not a doctor, but I recommend the Pill.  It helps to regulate your cycle, and as I mentioned before, the only in my life I've ever been regular was when I was on the Pill.\n\nGood luck.

Spotting when you first switch is normal, but if you've been on it for awhile, its not normal.  \nI had this problem in the past because the pill I switched to did not have enough hormones for my body, so I had to switch to something else.  Make an appointment with your gyno.

OMG ... those things are still in use? I thought this birth control method was obsolete! 3 months is average if my memory serves correctly. Listen to your body; if you start feeling overly tired or are experiencing unusual cramping, go back to whoever inserted it and get it removed.\n\nIUDS have been attributed to infertility problems and uterine hemorrhage. Please consider another birth control method for your health and safety.

I was on this pill for 1 year.  I had problems the 1st 3 months with spotting, & almost switched when it stopped. I had horrible mood swings & gained weight(it came off with exercise though) The mood swings were the worst though. Then in March I started bleeding again so I got switchd to Ortho Novum which is awesome (except for a few headaches). The thing is, every woman is different so pills affect everyone differently. You just have to try them until you find the right one.  And you are going to have some symptoms with any kind of pill.  There is a good website called www.askapatient.com that you can enter in any drug & read reviews from people that have taken it.
