    My period seems off with Birth Control

    I am starting my 3 pack of tri-cyclen lo this coming Sunday but it seems that I still haven't started my period that I was to start this past Sunday. This happened last month I ended up starting my period on the Sunday that I started my new package so I am wondering if this is happening again. When I first started the BC I used the Sunday start method...I started my period on a Saturday so the next day I start my pill. Did I do something wrong or is my body adjusting.

I have heard of women missing their period entirely, but not of starting their period at the beginning of the next pack...
