Dragonflymagic answered Tuesday September 3 2013, 11:44 pm: The pill is supposed to have a few days where you either don't take one or take a tablet that is actually a placebo...meaning it is a fake pill, no birth control hormones in it. This is so that your body can have a period.
But you must be taking the pill regularly. Every day, same time every day for it to be effective, if you miss days or double up and take it when you shouldn't thats not a good idea. Also missing too many days can possibly end up getting you pregnant because not enough of the meds were in your system.
Periods can be late due to stress or having been ill whether on pill or not. Do not stray from your schedule for taking pills. this means you do not take a pill when period hasn't started because it will only mess up your bodys normal cycle even more. If you have trouble remembering to take the pill consistantly, and still want a hormonal based birth control, ask your doctor about getting the shots or having the Mirena IUD put in.
