Heylo i been taking the pill for one month only well 21 days and it says you've got to have a break for 7 days to allow your period to come etc
i havent taken it at the same time every day as i should have and ive not had any intercourse yet as im still a virgin

Re: the pill

What pill are you taking? I'm on Ortho Tricyclen Lo and at the end of the pack, there's 7 placebo pills, with no hormones in them, that you take which onsets your period. My period usually doesn't come until about the 3rd day/pill. Give it another day and see what happens.

Re: the pill

Since its only your first pack your body maybe adjusting and there could be a chance for no period this month. I would wait and see if it does come. I get mine on the 2nd or 3rd day. However, some women get it on the 4th day.

Re: the pill

the ones i take are microgynon
and i dont think i have any placebo pills to take

so if i had my period on the 4th day on my break even if my period will last longer than the 7 day break i still must take the pill?

Re: the pill

Believe it or not you may get to the point where you start your period the 4th day of your break and it is over before the 7 days But it can take a while to get to that point. If you still have your period after your 7 day break, then yes you start taking pills again. Sometimes I've had mine last until the 3rd or 4th day I've started taking active pills again.
