Omg- the Pill Is So Confusing!
Posted: 05-22-05 07:31am

Could somebody please answer this question.

I have just started on my first packet of pills, normally I have a 28 day cycle. I'm trying to calculate when I should expect my period. By my normal 28 days cycle (off the pill) it would be wednesday (3 days time) however I am now on the pill and have had two sugar pills already and no period yet. Am I over due for my period or not due for a few more days?

It's really confusing me :(
so some input would be great!

I am on the sunday start of tri-cyclen lo, and I go into a few sugar pills before I start my period, its not right excact on the dot. Plus starting bc maybe can alter when your period comes. Just watch it for a couple months and keep track of what pill your on when you start your period, see if it starts its own new pattern so you then will know when to expect your period. :)

Oh and don't forget, always take your pill at the same time every day! It gives you the full protection percentage if your more accurate when taking them. :)

I would always get mine on the 3rd inactive day.. Some people don't get it until later. Sounds like you are ok.
