A member asked:
I'm on bc, does your period come right when you start the brown pills, my doctor says they're iron pills, or a couple days after?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are correct: Your period will come a couple of days into the "placebo" pills. Sometimes these pills contain a small amount of iron which should have no effect on when you get your period.
