Been on ocps for 3 months now. last 2 periods were a day early, im 4 days late for this months, why is that?

Adjusting to pill: It can take 3-4 cycles to adjust to the pill. Your period should start during the "placebo" days when the pills have no medicine in them. If, after the third pack, you are bleeding at the wrong time, you should consult with your provider about changing. Make sure you take the pills at the same time each day.
