I am starting birth control to regulate my period. I know that you get to know the exact day you start your period each month (by the color of the pill). But is it always 100% effective when it comes to your period or is it possible that you could start your period sooner or later?
Additional info, added Sunday August 28 2005, 9:00 pm: Also, for those who take it as well..did you see results right away (lighter, shorter periods?) Was it really dramatic? Did you have any side effects? Thanks so much!. Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category? Maybe give some free advice about: Health? cloudy_conscience answered Thursday April 15 2010, 12:44 pm: I have been on and off birth control many times in the last 6-8 years and usually the first pack your period may come toward the end of that week of pills and continue for a few days at the beginning of the next, but that usually only lasts for the first pack sometimes the second. It really depends on you, your cycle, and your body.
Your best betis to talk to your doctor about it, they can tell you which types are best to regulate your period, what types are best if you want less cramps, no weight loss etc.
Hope I Helped :) [ cloudy_conscience's advice column | Ask cloudy_conscience A Question ]

My gut feeling is that your cycle can have small changes even on the pill I still believe the doctor is the best person to answer this question so give the office a call. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
Sexybabii9095 answered Sunday August 28 2005, 10:19 pm: from my exsperience and from what the doctor says, the only thing that may change about when it will come, is it may be a day to two days late, or two of the different color pills into it before you get it, different pills, so it takes a day or at the most two *maybe 3 in extreme cases* to get used to it and for it to kick in.... I know that a women can can get it early is shes stressed ect. but i didnt think that happened on the pill.. actually i was pretty sure that it couldnt happen earlier at all since the pills prevent it [ Sexybabii9095's advice column | Ask Sexybabii9095 A Question ]
