Question for women taking birth control pills..?

Question:

Typically, how many days after taking the last "active" pill in the pack should i expect to get my period?? The next day?? Two days later?? I know everyone is different, I just would like a ballpark figure from seasoned users. Thanks!

Answers:
2-3 days

I usually got it within the first three or four days of the last active pill... any longer than that and I would take a pregnancy test. You're absolutely correct about everyone being different, though...

Usually it's about three days. I always get mine four days after taking my NuvaRing out, and end three days later when I have to insert another ring.

I've been using the pill for 11 years. I used to start 3 days after last active pill, but 2 years ago it changed to 5 days after. I switched brands of pills 5 years ago to a lower dose triphasic, but the bleeding changed 2 years ago on me. My mother said your hormones change throughout your life. It's cool because I stop bleeding on day 1 of the new pack, so it's reduced my period to 3 days! =)

Mine come exactly three days after the last active pill. Its great cause i can work out exactly when i am due and plan things accordingly if necessary

you could actually start your period at any time in the last week of sugar pills
every woman is different

i always got it about 30 minutes after i took the first "non-active" pill.

I've been on the pill for ten years. I usually get mine on the day that I take the third inactive pill. It's gone by the time I start the first active pill of a new pack.
