Can the birth control pill cause a missed period?
You usually get your period when you start taking the sugar pills, but you can miss your period on the birth control pills for a number of reasons:
- Bleeding is supposed to be lighter when you are on the pill and last for a shorter period of time. Sometimes bleeding can be so light that it's absent or unnoticable. Some women find this helpful, and others find it disturbing. It is not dangerous, but if you find it stressful, talk with your health care provider about a possible pill change.
- Some birth control makes you have your period 3 or 4 times a year. If you don't know, do some research about your birth control or ask your health care provider.
- Not getting your period could obviously mean pregnancy. If you've missed pills, or if you have symptoms of pregnancy, take a home pregnancy test.
- If you threw away the placebo pills (sugar pills) and started your next pack immediately, skipping your periods is normal.
- If you're on the progesterone-only pill (e.g. Micronor or Nora-B), not having withdrawal bleeding is normal.
- There's no danger in starting the pill for the first time in between period, but it might increase the risk of having no withdrawal bleeding at the end of the first pack.
- If you missed a pill or two and then doubled up, you can have a late or missed period, even though you did the right thing.
To be accurate, you do not have periods while using combined birth control pills; instead, you have a withdrawal bleed because you're no longer putting the hormones in your body.
It shouldn't it should just regulate it.
What happens when you switch pills but miss your sugar pills and go straight to the new packet?
There is no increased risk of pregnancy if you skip your sugar pills and start a new pack early. You may simply skip your period. Some women may have spotting or unexpected bleeding when doing so.
Should your period be regular after 6 months off birth control?
After stopping birth control, your period is likely to return to its previous pattern. If you were irregular prior to starting the pill, you're likely to be irregular after you stop.
Does going off birth control pills cause a late period?
It may, especially if your periods were irregular before you went on the birth control pill. You can expect your period sometime between the regular time and two weeks late. After that, you should be back on track. Take a pregnancy test if you've had unprotected intercourse.
It depends with the reason you were taking the hormone pills in the first place, if you were on them because you missed your periods and they were supposed to regulate them, its safe you only stick to those hormonal pills for the time being. Hormonal pills and birth control pills both contain synthetic versions of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone that work to change the way your natural body hormones work so that your body responds to normal functions; ovulation/ pregnancy. So since both of them are hormone changing pills, they have different functions which could mess up your body in a drastic and unhealthy way. So, see a doctor just to make sure if you can, just Incase the kinds of pills you are taking are not high in estrogen.
