Birth control = funny periods?


Question:
Ok, so I've been on birth control for almost a month, (Saturday will be my last sugar pill). And I was just a little curious because my period hasn't come yet with the first four inactive pills. I haven't had unprotected sex this month and I received my last period on the fourth of July.What happened was my doctor had me start my pills AFTER my period...thus pushing my period back a week or so. So is this normal for the first month or so of takin the pill to not be having a period?

Answers:
Yes! I didn't get mine the first time. But I've always been a Sunday starter it works better for me. Just remember it is extremely important to take your pill at the exact same time everyday!
Good luck and call the doctor if you don't get your next one or you missed pills and had unprotected sex!!
yes, birth control can alter several things
Yes. Your body has to get used to it. Your periods might also be shorter and lighter.
It's totally normal for things to be a bit screwed up during the first three months of starting any new birth control pill.

I usually get my period after taking the third inactive pill.
