Placebo/Sugar Pills and Timing of Period or Positive Pregnancy Test

[Anonymous]

I need a refresher course as to which day of the placebo/sugar birth control pills your period arrives. I don’t think I’m pregnant but started the placebo/sugar pills on Sunday and still haven’t gotten my period…the next pack would start Sunday so I know there’s still time…should I wait or is it worth taking a pregnancy test? Thanks!

This is an "accident" if you're pregnant, right?

I was on the Sunday schedule too (day I started a new pack) and got my period on Tuesdays usually.

Thanks! Yes...this wouldn't be planned for and I'm over-analyzing things b/c I was on antibiotics this cycle

Oh, the antibiotics cycle.... highly recommend to use a back-up method when you are on antibiotics.

I was a Sunday starter too and got my period on Wednesdays. Yes...if you used antibiotics please realize that they make the pill COMPLETELY USELESS....so if Friday comes around and you still have no period then you should definitely check
