A member asked:
Irregular, i just got birthcontrol but haven't taken them yet because i have to wait til my next expected period, no period. should i start bc anyway?

Don't start yet: I suggest you follow your doctors advice and wait for a period before you start the birth control pills. Try to be patient and let you body do what it is going to do. Sixteen year olds tend to have irregular periods. The pills will help it be more predictable.
