If you have been taking this particular Birth Control prescription for some time and you begin menstruating, it may be that the prescription you have contains a number of placebo tablets, (tablets which contain nothing), simply to help remind you to keep taking your tablets every day.

It may also be possible that you're experiencing what is referred to as 'spotting.' Spotting is a natural occurrence which can be more of an irritation to your social life than an indicator that there's anything wrong.

Measure when was your last period and when it ended and note when it has begun again. Period cycles, in general are 28 days. But they can vary, depending on age, anywhere from 21 days and up to 45 days (depending on age),

For now, if this is the first experience, do not be concerned, but chart your periods for a while. Continue taking your current tablets as prescribed, even if there are placebos in-between. Your body may be adjusting to the tablets.

It's also possible that this particular birth control tablet is not suitable for you. Even if you have been taking them for some time, your body can adjust and require an alternate.

If this persists for more than two cycles, then consider seeing your health care provider, or visit where you obtained your prescription. There is always the rare possibility that it could be signs of something that can easily be corrected.

Started taking birth control without your period starting is that bad?

Hi, Your question is: Started taking birth control without your period starting is that bad? No this isn't bad hun but your period will arrive on a different date and will continue to arrive on the same date every month providing you take your pills everyday and don't miss any pills. You must also know that birth control will not be effective at preventing pregnancy until you've been taking it for 4 weeks and had your first period on the pill. After this time you can have unprotected intercourse, but you will need to use a condom up until this time.
