A member asked:

This is my first pack of orsythia. i am on the last day of my inactive pill and my period hasn't started. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Irregular cycle: Your menstrual cycle can still be irregular for the first few months of taking birth control pills. Continue taking the pack as directed. Follow up with your GYN if it continues.
