A member asked:

I switched birth control mid pack. the instructions said wait 7 days. i should be on my period this week but i am not. when will it regulate my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: Generally, I dont recommend switching mid pack. It tends to cause irregularity for a while. It may take 3 or 4 cycles to get back to normal. Just take them on time, and give it time. It should get to normal.
