I'm taking Othro-TriCyclen and I was just wondering, how long after you start taking the green pills should your period start? Thanks!

I`m assuming the green pills are your placebos, i.e. it`s the 4th week of pills, the hormone-free ones?

For most women, their periods usually start somewhere between days 2 and 5. After a few cycles on the pill, you should be able to predict on which day it`ll fall, but for about the first 3 months, it may change from time to time.

Hope this helps!
