Please Read This And Respond I Dont Want to Mess Up!
Posted: 02-06-06 10:05am

This is my first time taking a pill for birth control. I’m going to be taking lutera a form of allesse. I’m just confused she said I have to take it the first sunday of my period, but what happens if my period is from mon-friday? Do I have to wait until the following month or take it the sunday after it? And the other question is, the last week are different colored pills, that’s the week im supposed to get my period right? If I don’t get my period(if it messes my periods up) do I still take the different colored pills or get a new pack right away, please please someone get back to me I don’t want to mess this up and my drs office never calls me back.

Thank you!

Don't be nervous! It is ok. For the first question, as far as starting the pill, you are right, it is sunday after your period starts. Even if your period starts on a sunday, you take it on that day. If your period starts on monday,you take it on sunday. I don't know what color your pills are, b/c I am on ortho tri cyclen. My pills are green for the placebos and they are the last pills in my pack. The last pills in your pack, I am assuming are your placebos..And yes you will get your period then. You were asking that if for some reason you don't get your period then, what do you do? You start your new pack. It may be common that your period is a little off for the first 3 months or so, that is why it is so important not to mess up! You will be fine as long as you take them at the same time everyday and don't miss any. If for some reason, later down the road, you don't have two periods in a row, then you need to get an appt with your doc. Even the pill packs will say that even if you miss one period (provided you took your pills perfectly), don't panic, it is if you miss two periods,you should get to your doc.

If you have any other questions you can p.M. Me!

Some women do miss a period on pills, which can be scary, but it is normal. You keep taking your last pills in the pack, and then you start a new pack when you are supposed to that next sunday.
