A member asked:
Started bc midcycle about 2 weeks after my period. my period came for 11 days after starting the pills, is this normal? are the pills effective yet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: Starting pills midcycle is not recommended because the pills are out of sync with your natural cycle. This can give you irregular bleeding like you are experiencing. It may take a few months for your body and the pills to sync. In your case, the pills won't be effective until you have been on them at least 2 weeks. Best wishes!
