    Question about birth control!

    Alright, so my this is my problem
    My period normally last for 2 or 3 days and I'm on birth control
    Do I take the normal pills as soon as my period ends or when I've taken all the sugar pills?

    is this your first time on BC?

    BC should be taken every day. I suggest even taking the sugar pills so you are in the daily habit.

    When you are on your period you should be on your sugar pills. When the sugar pills run out you should start another pack, wither you are still on your period or not.

    Get it?

      What I mean is my period ends before I've taken all the sugar pills
      I've been on birth control maybe a year and a half and have always been unsure if I'm supposed to be taking the regular pills as soon as my period ends or have those 3 or 4 days when I'm still taking the sugar pills and am not having my period

        Take a pill every single day no matter what. Just follow the order they are packaged in. If your period ends 2 or 3 days into the placebos then you are still going to need to take the rest of the placebos for the rest of the week. Any missed or skipped pills will mess up your system.
        There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.
