Hello, I currently started using birth control and I m 2 days away from my last hormone pill w/ 7 days of none active pills. I have looked up & asked around when to start my new pack. I have been told to not stop keep going, wait until the first day of my period to start the new pack, if period doesn t start in 2-3 of my last hormone pill still start the new pack. I just need to know the answer to my question please. Thank you for your help and support.

Hello dear
Understand your concern
You have to start the new pack from the first day of your menstrual cycle. If period will delay by 7 daya then you have to find the cause of the delayed period. But once you are on regular pill, period will become regular.

You have to take 21 tablet daily on sane time (at bed time) regularly. After finishing this you have to take 7 inactive tablet. During the this 7 days or after finishing 7 tablet, period will come.
So if period will delay then you have to wait for period to come.
If you started the pills without the period come then period may be delayed till you do not stop the taking pill.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
