I've been on birth control for a month and haven't gotten my period when i'm supposed to. do i keep taking the pill or stop and wait for my period?

Birth control: It is not unusual to skip a period while on birth control pills especially if you are taking the 24 or 26 day active pill packs or taking active pills continuously. However, if you are sexually active, you should take a pregnancy test prior to continuing with the pills.
