You stopped talking your birth control 5 days before you were supposed to will that mess your period up?
Yes it can. Because when you take birth control, it is all about regulating your hormones and menstrual cycle. This cycle from birth control protects you from pregnancy. Whether you missed two days, or even if you do not take your birth control everyday at the same time, your period can become irregular, and even worse you are increasing your chance of becoming pregnant. If you have had unprotected intercourse within a near time frame of when you stopped taking your birth control, you may have become pregnant, because you did not properly take your pills. This also means indeed it will mess your period up because you may not get one if you have become pregnant. In this situation, you should think about pregnancy more, if you have had unprotected intercourse, because you may have not been completely protected.

If you are waiting for a first period, don't despair, it will come! If you are in a state of amenorrhea do some things to improve your health and you can bring your period back.

Is it bad to have your period for 17 days?
It can be bad to have your period for a long time. I used to get my period for 8 days straight. But I visited a Gynecologist(person who specializes in the "under" area or the vagina) and she recommended me to take birth control pills. Some people misunderstand the whole birth control thing. They sometimes think that to take them you have to be sexually active, and that isn't true at all. I started on birth control pills when I was 14 years old and now I'm 16 years old and I'm not sexually active. Birth control pills also have side affects. You can get nausea or headaches from them. So it's good if you experiment with different types of pills. The point of taking them is to shorten your period. My period used to last up to 9 days. And now it's only 6 days :) Make sure to see a doctor if your periods get worse or if your getting blood clots(big chunks of blood).

Can birth control make you get acne?

If that's not the case for you, contact your health care provider, who may be able to change brands based on your complaint.
