A member asked:

Period is 2 days late but i am on my first month of birth control? i thought it was supposed to regulate my cycle

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: This could be normal, but you should call your physician who prescribed the birth control medication just to be sure that it is normal for you with the kind of BC pill he/she prescribed.
