    7 days pill free : why period?
    Hi.

    I' m on my 7 days pill break. It's been at-least 3 days since then (Thrusday) Unexpectedly, I've started my period the 4th day (Sunday). I don't know if it's just my body adjusting to the pill (first time on pill) or the real thing?

    It said on the label I have to take my next pack when the 7 days are up and started bleeding. How so.. If I have my period now should I start taking the pill or wait since, pills are supposly effective when you start bleeding.

    Take it when the 7 days are up regardless of whether you are still bleeding. Sometimes it takes a while for your body to adjust to the pill. Also remember that the pill is not effective against pregnancy until after at least 1 month of use and it is never effective against std's

    Its completely normal - well that's what happened for me when I was on the pill, I don't know why lol. Just keep going like you are, take the 3 weeks worth, then have 7 days without then start again regardless of whether your on your period. After a few months I'm sure you'll start to figure it out, but I no it can be a bit weird!
