A member asked:

I started my birth control in the middle of my cycle is there a chance i might miss my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes, you might miss your cycle. You will be protected from pregnancy after the first two weeks of the pill though. You will need to wait until your 2nd month of pills to see how things are working - that's OK
