This is one opinion I've found:
"so for 24 days, i took the "active" pills. then for the other four days, i took the "reminder" pills, which are supposed to make my period come. for the first reminder pill i took, my period didn't come, and i was beginning to wonder how long it would take for my period to start. anyway, the next day, i took another reminder pill. then shortly after that, my period came!!
anyway, when it came, it was just spotting. i really didn't need to wear anything (but that's normally how the beginning of my period is.) after about a day, it started to get heavier, so i started using light tampons. they worked perfectly! i only had to change them about every five hrs (normally, i have to change a SUPER PLUS every TWO or THREE hrs...so this was a major improvement.)
then i finished taking my "reminder" pills 2 days ago. i started another month yesterday, so that means i've taken 2 "active" pills...but i still have light bleeding. "

Will you have a normal period the first month you get off birth control?
It's very unlikely that you'd have a normal period the first month off birth control (I'm assuming by 'birth control' what you actually mean is the combination pill - please don't use these terms interchangeably, there are many forms of birth control!). Your first 'period' will be your withdrawal bleed as normal, but after that it may take a few months to get a real period again. It can also take up to 12 months for your cycles to regulate again once you stop using hormonal birth control.
Can you Start birth control on the first day of your period?
Yes; if you start birth control on the first day of your period, you'll have immediate protection.
How long do you have to wait for birth control to be MOST effective before you have sex...I have heard a week to three months?
Birth control is the most effective when you've been on it for 4 weeks and finished your first period. My doctor says 3 months.
If you start birth control pills for the first time on the first day of your period can that period be shorter and or lighter than usual?
I found that mine was not shorter of lighter, only the following months were changed.
Why do you have your period 3 times in a month and plus iam taking birth control?
In the first three months of using hormonal birth control, a woman may have irregular bleeding. This side effect improves with time.
After going off birth control for 2 months is is possible to go without your period having it the first month and not the second?
i dont think so!
I'm just started nortel 135 birth control and i was wondering what my first period will be like will it be short or not?
Nope. takes three months or so.
While on Birth control do you take the white pills while you have your period?
Yes, you should always continue to take your birth control unless your physician tells you to stop. Stopping your birth control and having unprotected sex will make you become pregnant. If you are experiencing any bleeding before the expected date or time of your period, you are most likely experiencing spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is bleeding that is not considered a period, it is however a side effect from birth control that can last up to 3 months when you first begin birth control.
Where in you cycle do you begin taking birth control pills?
The first pill is taken on the first day of your period.
Is it normal to have your period for 1 day after being on birth control pills for two weeks?
Yes, unscheduled bleeding is a common side effect in the first three months of birth control pill use. Continue taking your pills as scheduled.
Can you start birth control during your period?
Yes you can start birth control while on your period. Usually your doctor will tell you to start on a Sunday so it's easier to remember when you first started your pack.If you get your period on the Sunday you start you still start on birth control.
What happens if you started the new pack of birth control while you have your period.. will your period start earlier next month?
It is normal for some women to have break through bleeding in the first couple months on BCP, your period will become very regular and possibly lighter within a few months.
