Is it bad to not eat and take birth control?

i don't believe so. when you get the birth control from whichever pharmacy or place, they should include instructions telling you whether or not you should eat something when you take the pill. If they don't say anything about it, then you should be fine. If you are feeling sick from taking the pill without eating though, you might want to start. Instructions or not, that would be your body telling you that it needs food along with your birth control. In that case, eating may just make things more comfortable. As usual though, if you have any major issues, i would say call your doctor. They should be able to answer any questions you have, or dierect you to someone who can.

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.
