I know that if you're using Ortho Tri-Cyclen, you get your period when taking the last 7 pills [the green ones]. It might be the same color [or order] for the other pill brands, but it should say in the packet that it came with. It's hard to say when you'll get your period & how your body will react to it, especially if you didn't start it the right time. Just expect it to come whenever you take those last 7 pills or whenever your period would normally come [which would be within the next week or so] -- whichever comes first. After the first couple-few months of taking it, you should know what day [take or give] when you'll start your period. For now, you'll have to take whatever comes until your body is used to it.

Melody answered Tuesday August 29 2006, 6:12 pm: to be honest, you can't really tell when you will start your period on the first packet of the pills. it's always slightly, if not a lot off. when you start your second month on the pill, you should get on cycle. so just be prepared this time and look for the pre-menstrual signs.
