A member asked:
What does it mean when your period comes early when your on the birth control pills for a year?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones Fluctuate: Hormone levels fluctuate during the cycle, even with birth control use. Cycles can occasionally become irregular due to this process. Missing a dose of birth control can also affect the menstrual cycle. Oral birth control is effective, but not 100% effective and pregnancy can still occur.
