If you've been off the pill for more than a week, then you should wait till you get your period next.  Once you get your period, you can do the Sunday start or start immediately.  In the meantime, use a backup method of birth control.

i think you need to go back on the pill if your still active, but either way you need to use a condom, and most of all go to your doc, becuase each case is different, teehee

Even a low dose of the pill makes my hormone levels weird. The last time I was on the pill my husband told me not to worry about taking it because nothing was going to happen to where I might get pregnant. Look into NFP.

Best I know of is to use the Pill. My periods without it are all over the place (I'm almost 32). Many thing affect how regular, or unregular your periods are, such as stress, diet, etc. I take a birth control pill that is LOW estrogen or progeterone only, I forget exactly (it's generic name is Errin), since I want as little "extra" in my body as possible. It' releases just enough without getting me all moody or anything. Asy your gyno...he/ she can be lots of help. BTW, mine is a female gyno, and I swear by her, because not only is she a doctor, but she's also a woman who can offer real life experiences, not just a man reading out of a medical textbook. Hope this helps some. :)

It takes time to adjust to a new type of hormonal birth control.  Give it a few months before you start to panic.  Your period probably will not last 12 days, it just came early because you're changing hormone volumes.\n\nStick to the switch and become better about remembering to take your pill at the same time every day.  Your period should even out in a few months.

it can take up to 6 months to a year for it to completely be out of your system, this is definately normal, some women don't have a period for months after stopping the pill and others have it right when they should. every woman is different, just give it some time and your period should return to normal.

there may not be anything wrong with u. if u have been under a lot of stress lately, exercising, moved, anything could cause it. also if u started or stopped birth control recently it can cause your periods to be out of whack. if u do not have your next period when u should then i would suggest taking another pregnancy test or better yet, go see a doctor.

I'm assuming you ruled out pregnancy. Assuming that, you should know that it's not unusual for a woman to have her cycles stop temporarily after going off the Pill. It's nothing to worry about but you should check with your doctor. He/She can give you a hormone shot that will bring the periods on, but depending on your particular situation, he might encourage you to wait it out for about a year to see if the periods restart on their own.

Your period may become irregular after stopping the use of birth control. speak to your gyn about this though.

stress, rapid weight loss or gain, illness, drugs (certain tranquilizers) may have disrupted cycle.\n\npregnancy\n\nIf you're on a birth control Pill - brand is too low in estrogen - or if you've stopped BCP body hasn't yet adjusted to life off the pill; see doctor if periods don't resume in 3 months\n\n\nmissed ovulation (no egg released from ovary)\n\nI'd probably see a doctor if you haven't been on any sort of Birth Control and haven't had a period in 3 months.

Well, I'm on the shot and I thought I was pregnant again. But, to figure it out, you should go to the doctor or clinic, or just an at home test. But to be truthfull if you took the pill again after that there is a big chance that you won't get pregnant and if you did you will have miscarriage. But when you miss a pill make it up the next pill and take two.

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.

Talk to a doctor ASAP about the possible pregnancy, the stress, and what pills could be ideal for you.\n\n\nFor now, diet pills and stress can mess with your period, even if you are ALWAYS normal.. \n\nI know no one wants to hear this, but you may want to quit the pills. If you are having issues with your health as a result of them, do you really want to keep taking them?\nAt least consider switching diet pills. They are not all the same, many of them will effect people differently.  Go to GNC (or some similar store) and talk to a clerk. Tell them what you took and the effects it had on you and see what they recommend.\n\nALSO, remember you could still be pregnant. \nDepending on the type of tests you took you could be pregnant, and the right hormones are not being looked for.

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.
