Hey girlies

So i finished my first pack of OTL and im now on my third night of the inactive pills the green ones. Now im wondering when should i get AF. What if i dont get it? Should i worry i havent had sex since a 10 days before my last period. My last period was june 7th so i should not be worried about pregnancy! But what is the average time a women will get her period after the last active pills? please help just was wondering when to expect her!

Thanks

In the beginning of starting bc, i started on either the 4th or 5th inactive. Now that I've been on the same pill for almost a year now, I usually start on the first or second. It just takes time and worrying about it coming will just delay it. As long as uve taken your pills and everything correctly, relax.

Hope that helped..Mel

Do not worry. I have been on BC for 8 years and, for me, AF comes on the 4th inactive pill nearly every cycle. Do you take your pill late at night? I usually take it at 11 PM, but I have noticed in the past that if I take it earlier in the day AF usually comes during the 1st or 2nd inactive pill. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

I always took my pill first thing in the morning and AF came on the 2nd inactive day. Like clock work. I'm sure you AF will come in on it's own good (or bad) time.

If you're really worried, check with your doctor.

Hey girls,

Thanks for the replys. I do take my pills late at night, that helps me remember to take them. :) I woke up this morning and i had some light bleeding not very much. It has been off and on today. Im sure it will be full force tonight or tomorrow. One more thing did yall notice your periods being any lighter after beginning the pill? Thanks for all the replys you girls are Awesome.

Hugs
