Hi, I was wondering I take birth control pills so that it starts my period because my period will not start on its own because I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome so for some reason it stops my natural period.. But my question is I usually wouldnt start my period until after the pack was completly gone now my period is starting when I have at least two weeks of pills to go is this normal? :rolleyes:

No that isn't normal. You aren't supposed to start your period until you are a few days into your placebo (sugar) pills. If you are bleeding while still taking your active pill I would go back to the doctor. It could mean many things including that the pill is not strong enough for you.

I'm pretty sure polycystic ovarian syndrome means that you aren't ovulating naturally and therefore aren't getting your periods normally. The reason for this is that the ovary is secreting higher levels of testosterone and estrogens. My sister suffers from the same problem and her period is very irregular due to this.
