Why do you have a period during the 28 days you are taking the pill?

The pill causes a release of 2 hormones into your body, tricking your body into not releasing an egg each month. It sort of tricks your body into thinking it is pregnant and therefore the lining of the uterus remains, and no egg is released.
In the pack of 28 pills there are 7 sugar pills. When you start taking the sugar pill, the hormones stop and your body returns back to normal and then sheds the lining. Then after 7 days you start taking the pills with hormones again.
You can skip the sugar pills, but it is not recommended you do this for a long period of time.

I started taking birth control when i wasnt on my period will it still work?
I started one week late, taking the pill.. I had unproctected sex during the first 6 days.. as I was told that you can't get pregnant the first 6 days after your period.. so I started the pill the following Sunday & continue to have unprotected sex... Can I get pregnant???
How many days after the 7 day break do you bleed?
It depends on the oral contraceptive taken, and the person taking it to how many days into your break your period starts. With regular pill taking and time your period should be easier to predict accurately once your body gets into a regular 'rhythm'. It can start any number of days after taking the last pill in your packet, but usually starts during the 7 day break rather than after.
You are on the pill but your period is 4 days late.?

Im 6 days late first month of not takin the pill im getting cramps but no period this is my first really late period?
hello, if i read correctly, it's the first month you stopped using the pill, and your 6 days late with your period. Well, possibilities are is that your body was very used to taking the pill, so it's used to the routine of you taking the pill, and getting your period whenever uour supposed to get it. It may also be because when taking the pill, your period lasts a few days shorter than the average lenght of an average woman without taking the pill, meaning yours can last from 3-4 days, while an avergare woman without taking the pill can be 7-8 days. It's possible that your cramps are coming back because you haven't been using the pill, and your period will maybe come later on. The pill also stops cramps, so without you taking the pill, your body will be getting cramps again. Other possibilities are is that when you stress a lot about something, you can get a late period, or since you haven't been taking the pill, if you are sexually active, you may be pregnant. Consult a doctor, they always know best. Good Luck!
