Your cycle isn't regular yet. If you are fairly young it often takes 2-3 years for your cycle to "level" out. This is nothing to worry about. The placebo pills are just place holders to help you start the new pill cycle on the right day.
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.
no the only time you should get your period on the pill is during your one week of placebo pills
That is your withdrawal bleeding. It's going to be lighter and shorter when you're on the pill.
You should still get a period each month while on birth control. You will usually start your period during the week that you take your placebo pills, because they have no hormones in them. If you skip the placebo pills and start your active pills instead, this will delay your period.
Yes. The pill is not always affective.
Skipping your period on the birth control pill, whether it happens with normal use or because you skipped the placebo week on purpose, isn't bad. It doesn't increase the risk of pregnancy, and causes no damage.
yes
Are you on the pill. Because if you are just start another pill pack on the week that you would normally start your placebo (no hormone) pills. That way you won't have your period until the end of the next pill pack.
Anytime between the 2nd and 6th placebo pill.
You take the birth control pill as scheduled regardless of any bleeding. It's possible that you'll be taking an active pill while still bleeding, or may start bleeding before your'e on the placebo week, if your brand of pills has one.
The placebo pill is taken so you have the habit of taking the birth control pill, even during your period. So your period should happen the week your placebo is taken. So if you are taking the pill and you have missed a pill and then doubled up or just missed the pill sometimes you can spot brown. Sometimes you can spot brown at the very end of your cycle. It could also be the birth control pill you are taking isn't the right one for you. Contact your physician if you are following the directions of the prescription and spotting mid cycle. i always skip placebo pills since they are only needed to remind you to the the pill at the same time every day. you get your period when you are supposed to start placebos. Brown spotting is a "period" and happens to me all the time.
It really depends. I know I start on the 2 or 3 placebo pill.
