If you have been taking your birth control pills correctly and consistently, the risk of pregnancy is very low.
Many women require several hormone free days before a withdrawal bleed occurs. Simply put, most women do not begin their periods on the first day of the placebo (sugar) pills. It is not uncommon for bleeding to begin as late as the 4th or 5th day of the placebos. The birth control pills work by thinnning the uterine lining, thus making periods lighter and shorter. Sometimes, though, the uterine lining is so thin that little to no bleeding may occur.
If you have little to no bleeding this cycle, begin a new pack of pills on time,. Continue to take the pills every day. You should have more of a normal period with your next cycle.
