As long as you have take your pills correctly and consistently, you should not need to worry about pregnancy. When first starting your pills, it is common for your period to start a little before or a little after your placebo (sugar) pills. It can take up to 3 months for your body to become adjusted to the pill cycle. Most women who are on the pill don’t begin bleeding until day 4 or later of the placebo pills. Any bleeding/spotting that occurs during the last pill week is considered to be a period.

Start your new pack of pills on time, and continue to take them every day, around the same time. If you do not have a period will your second pill pack, call the clinic/ doctor.  They may want to perform a pregnancy test, just to rule that out, or you may need a change in your pills.
