A member asked:
I have been on birth control for a little bit over nine months or so but my period comes when i am still taking my pills, is this dangerous?

No: Some people will have their period start in the third week instead of the fourth week. You are still protected. You could see your doctor to try changing your pill to one that will get you to bleed in the fourth week, if you want.
