What does it mean if your on birth control but your period comes earlier than usual?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: Your period can come anytime during the placebo phase of the pack. If it comes any earlier, it may be from missing a pill or taking at irregular times. If you have been sick or stressed or traveled during the cycle pack it can also change when your period comes. If none of this applies to you, give it 3 months and if it persists then see your doctor.
