| | | red color pill reached but no period - Birth control Pill Hi All,
I am on Birth Control Pills (Lutera- 28 pack one) since past 4-5 months. My periods start when I reach the 4th week, i.e when the red color pills start. According to this, my red color pill dosage started yesterday (Sunday) but my periods did not. Am I worrying too much since its been only one day or should the period start exactly on the day the red color pill starts. Please let me know as I am a little worried. Thank you.

| Any kind of hormonal birth control can cause your periods to go out of whack. Keep taking the red pill, your period should come because you are not taking the hormonal pill.  |

Thanks again for your reply. |

| No birth control is 100% effective, however if you have been taking your pills everyday, regularly, like you are supposed to, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant  |

| I don't mean to scare you, but I did get pregnant while on birth control pills. Yes, I was taking them everyday and never got sick. No birth control is 100% effective. However, I wouldn't worry about the delayed period yet. When I was taking birth control pills my period didn't start til about the 3rd sometimes 4th day of taking the inactive pills.
Just relax and wait. I am sure it will come.
Also, if you just started taking the pills or switched brands it can throw your cycle off and cause you to possibly miss a period all together.
Hope this helps. |
