Switching pills

Hey all, i had to go a month without takin the pill because i switched doctors, any idea if going without for a month will change when i'm supposed to start again? I know i'm supposed to start the first pack of new pills the sunday after my next period but would my body revert to the old way my periods were (totally unpredictable) before i first started the pills or should they follow the same pattern they've been on for the past year? If anyone can help please let me know!

It's possible that your next period will be late, both because your periods were irregular before the pill and because you just stopped taking the pill--ovulation may be delayed, which will mean your period would also be delayed. It's hard to say when to expect your next period, but if it gets to be too long, you might call your doctor and ask if you could start early.

Good luck!
