Will you have a period if you start the pill 1 week before your period?

You may experience more of the uncomfortable side effects of the pill such as spotting. I would suggest (as most doctors do) waiting until after your period and starting it on a sunday. I would also suggest waiting a full 2 weeks before starting to have unprotected sex. Unless of course you want to get pregnant.

∙ 12y agoYou may experience some spotting, especially when your period is generally supposed to come. However spotting is very regular when you start Birth Control anyways. Normally DRs reccommend starting birth control the way your regular cycle should have gone, however you can essentially start birth control whenever you want. It just may have more side effects this way. You must remember that when on birth control your hormone levels and all reactions are caused by the pill. When you stop taking the pill your body only bleeds because it is going through withdrawl. Its not a real period. Your cycle will be completely overhauled by the pill, but it will take a bit longer for your body to adjust if you don't start along with your cycle.

What if you start the birth control pill a week before your period starts?
You can start the pill at any time during your cycle. If you start a week before your period, use a back up method of birth control for the first seven days of the pack.
Can you get pregnant while on the pill and the week before your period?
Yes. The pill is not always affective.
How long does your period last if you're on the birth control pill?
All women are different. You may start on any day during the last week of the pill pack. If you start before or after those pills, you need to get on a different type of pill.
Is it normal to get your period two days after getting off the pill when you had your period the week before?
yes
Can you skip a week on the pill and then start taking it the following week and get your period a week after your sapose to?
If you do this then you put yourself at risk of pregnancy
Will starting birth control pills before your period make your period come later?
Yes, if you start the birth control pill for the first time before your period, your period will come later. It usually comes during the last week of the cycle.
What are the green pills and does your period start on the green pills?
If you are talking about the last week in your pill pack, yes, you are supposed to start you period that week. I don't know what they are made of, but they are often called sugar or inactive pills. They aren't always green though. It depends on the kind of pill you have. If you are talking about another week, I don't know what they are made of either, but you aren't supposed to start your period until the last week of your pill pack. Please be aware that not everyone starts their period during the sugar pills, especially when you first start taking the pill. So if you have been taking your pill perfectly, every day no fail and at approximately the same time, chances are you are not pregnant. My first month on the pill I didn't get a period at all and freaked out but the test was negative, the following month I got my period on the third week and it stopped before the sugar pills. Many times it's just your system adjusting to the hormones.
If you have been taking birth control for one week and hate it should you start you period a couple days after you stop it?
Your period can arrive anytime when you suddenly stop the pill. It may be days or even a week or two before it arrives.
If on birth control pills how can you delay your period for a week?
You can delay your period by continuing to take your pills. You shouldn't get your period when on the pill, hence the placebo week where you do. I've skipped my period before because I was going on vacation, if you're on the mono kind of pill it's really easy to do this.
If you take the pill before your period starts by accident do you keep takin it or stop and staret on your first day of your period?
AnswerContinue taking the pill. Your period will be a few days earlier to a week earlier but it will not cause any problems unless you stop and re-start the pill. Then you will get crazy periods.But be cautioned you can form blood clots in your legs and maybe die from it so be careful.
How long before your period do you get signs of having a period?
Usually you get PMS symptoms about a week before your period is due to start.
Will switching from the patch to the pill make you miss your period?
For a safer protection, you might miss the period between both drugs. You might start the pill on the day you were supposed to start your "drug-free week". You might also start the pill 2-3 days later. It shouldn't affect birth control.
