Can the Pill Mess Up Your Cycle? Posted: 07-08-05 11:14am
I took the pill for a month to see if I
would like it, but at the end of the month
I didn't take the sugar pills or whatever
they are. Then I had my period for like
10 days. Since I didn't take the pills
till the end of the month could that mess
up my cycle? I haven't gotten my period
yet, and I was suppose to get it on
saturday and now it's friday... Help!

You dont have to take that last week of
pills... There's nothing in them, hence
they are called sugar pills. They are
there so you remember and stay in the
habit of taking your pills at the same
time everyday. I usually dont bother
taking the last week of pills because they
aren't necessary.
Since it was your first month on birth
control, that is why your cycle is a
little messed up. Your body is still
adjusting to the hormones from the pills.
Dont freak out, you're fine. It'll take a
couple months for things to regulate.
