do i continue to take the iron pills even if i do not have my period?
This is really confusing. End of September i started my birth control. The week of the last pills(the iron pills) i was spotting a bit for 2-3 days (thats how long i usually get my period) , so i figured i had my period and started the new pack the following sunday. that wednesday i started bleeding (the 24th of october) and i ams till bleeding today (november 4th) i am confused because i dont know if this is my period, i should have it, i should actually be getting it this week. i called my doctor and she said my body wll take 3 mnths to get used to it. but i am confused, do i continue to take the iron pills even if i do not have my period? help!

The last week of pills are nothing. They are placebos given so you stay in the habit of taking your pills everyday. If you miss one, or forget to take one all together, it will have no effect on your period or the effectiveness of your birth control at all.
Follow your doctors instructions and believe what she tells you about your periods. She is the expert! :)

When you first start the pill your body is still getting use to them so there may be normal spotting (like your doctor was saying). Take all the pills; when you miss the last pills of the pack (depending on the pills) it sometimes causes spotting. Just take the pills in order every day (if you have to take a pill every day) once that pack is finished then start the new pack. Your period may start to change to a different day because of the pills. I have been on birth control for about 5 years now but I am not a doctor. I hope this helps!
*I would just say, always take your pills.

One of my friends takes a birth control. She follows the schedule her docter gave her...
Look on the pamphlet that came with pills. All the answers to your questions should be on there... if not, then consult with your docter for more information.
My advice does not take the place of any certified docter, but you should continue taking the pills. That's how my friend goes about it.
