Is this normal
| Sat, 03-31-2007 - 6:39am |
I have just started taking birth control pills (ortho tri-cyclen) And I only have 4 pills left (Meaning the ones left are the ones when your supposed to get your period) BUT like I said I have 4 left and have already taken 3 of those kind, and still dont have my period? I read somewhere that its not dangerous unless you miss two periods. But I didnt know if it mattered because my regular period (BEFORE the pills) was very big gaps between- like 35 days. So on these pills its only like a 27 day gap... so will my body not get a period cuz if I werent on the pills I wouldnt be do for another 10 days? I'm sorry if this is confusing I just needed to know if anyone else has had this? Thank you

It usually takes about 3 cycles for your body to adjust to the pill. It's normal to not start your period on the first day of the placebo pills too. Anytime between the 1st and 5th is pretty common too. Mine didn't always start on the same day every month either. Good luck.
