Yes, this can be normal. It can take your body 1 to 3 months to become adjusted to being on the birth control pill and to begin having regular bleeding during the sugar pills. Many women may take several sugar pills, as many as 4 or 5, before any bleeding or spotting occurs.

Begin your new pack of pills as scheduled and continue to take your pills consistently. You should experience regular bleeding cycles within the next month or two. Keep in mind that the pills should lighten and shorten your period, so hopefully, you will see improvement in your bleeding.

If you don’t have any bleeding during the sugar pills of your second pack, call your doctor or clinic.
