Q: I didn't take my pill for 2 days and now I have my period... Is that normal?

I'm really good about taking the pill everyday at the same time I just had a crazy few days! Also I was going to get my period on the 22nd of December. I don't know if this means I'm not going to get it then or if this is my new cycle?

if you missed your pills this is normal.  Start a new pack when your period is over.

This is most likely going to be your new cycle. The birth control feeds your body hormones that override what would naturally happen. When you stop taking the birth control, your body reacts to the lack of hormones, leading to your period. As mentioned above, you should start the new pack at the end of your period. 

 

Best of luck,
