When could I start my period?
f/16
I starting using a birth control a month ago. I'm on the last week of pills, on the thrid day, and I haven't got my period. I haven't been taking the pills everyday at the same time because I forget. By me not taking the pills at the same time every day is why I think I'm not getting my period yet. But when will I get my period and what if I don't do I just start my new pack of pill and change the time I take them so it will be easier to remember?

Your periods will be funky the first 3 months of the pills because your body isn't used to the hormones yet. Once you've taken the pills for 3-4 months, then your body will get into a rhythm and your periods will come almost the exact time.
Actually, I was just like you. The first month I started the pill, I was freaking out because I thought my period was supposed to happen on the first day of the placebo pills, but it didn't come and I thought I was pregnant. but then my doctor said it can happen during any day of the placebo pills. She said it will probably come around the middle of the week because my body isn't used to the pills yet. So don't worry, this happened to me too. My period came about 3 days on the placebo pills. After taking the pills for 3-4 months, then you can pretty much tell the exact day your period will come. its pretty awesome :)
Oh and if you keep forgetting to take the pill... then maybe you shouldn't be taking them anymore. There's other forms of birth control, like the shot or the patch.
If you can't even remember to take a pill once a day at the same time... then maybe you shouldn't be on birth control or having sex (if thats what you're using the BC for)
If I were you, talk to your doctor and ask him/her if you can switch the times because you keep forgetting. I just take mine at noon. Its easier to remember, and if i'm on vacation with different time zones, its easy to calculate the time difference and what times i would need to take them. Example: noon in USA = 7pm in Europe.
good luck!

You may not get your period, It is not uncommon for women who are on birth control. Women who are on birth control sometimes tend to experience little or no period or rather go months at a time with spotting in between. The best thing you can do is to continue taking your birth control faithfully at the same time everyday. If you need to remind yourself by writing a note and stick it somewhere you'll see it.
If you are worried about not getting a period then schedule an appointment with a gynecologist.
