A member asked:
If i start birth control pills 2 weeks before period is due, what is likely to happen? will period still occur same time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: When starting the pill at mid-cycle, you should expect some irregular and unpredictable bleeding that may come and go for several cycles. By the end of the third or fourth pack of pills your periods should be coming only at the end of the pack as expected. Be patient for the pill to have time to suppress the ovaries and regulate the cycle.
