Hi!
Incomplete data like name of the birth control pills.
Assuming the birth control pills to be containing Norethisterone 5mg which should be taken in the following way:
One tablet 3 times a day beginning 3-4 days before the expected period is due to begin. It is then taken every day in the same dosage and can be continued for up to 2 weeks or so until you want to have a period.
The menses will normally begin 2-3 days after stopping it.
Hope to have answered your query.
