soccer14 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I don't know if I posted this in the right spot, but it's kinda all intertwined. Okay, I started birth contol a couple weeks ago. it's getting near the end of my pack, and I was woundering, how accurate are they for when your cycle will start? Like on the day my pills are done and I don't take any for a week, will my cycle start? I was just woudering, so then I can be prepared and stuff.

southerngirl Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Pretty accurate after you have taken them for a while. But, its going to take your body time to get used to it, so you may not find that for the first few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run_little_rabbit Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 It'll be different for everyone, but in my "off week" it usually took 3 or 4 days til things got rolling... Don't panic! Like southerngirl said, it may take a couple of months before its predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythical_Suicide Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 it varies person to person and given you're still young it could also affect it. What birth control are you on? I know I take Yaz and I usually start on day 2 of my placebo pills and it lasts up until day 2 of taking my pill again and there's 4 white placebo pills with my Birth control. Has been that way since I First started the pill two months ago but it coul dbe different with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsthatguy Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 My girlfriend is on the same thing but she gets the 28 day packs with the sugar pills just so she doesn't get out of the habit. Day 3 or 4 after she's done the real pills and she gets her period like clockwork, but it took about 3 months of being on the pill before she got consistent.

joiseygrl Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Every woman has a different reaction to going on the pill. I have had a dead on accurate cycle since I was 11 year old. (Lucky me!) When I went on the pill it stayed that way. It takes 4 days from the day I start my placebo pills for me to get my period. Most women take a few months of being on the pill before the cycle regulates, for others it happens right away. Who knows, you could get lucky like me and know that Wednesday at 3 pm you'll get your period! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
