Is period always supposed to start on white pills w/ birth control?
Q. I just started birth control like two weeks after my period, should I get my period in the middle of the pack or during the white pills. I've never had any spotting or side effects during the three weeks I've taken them. Just curious. I'm just concerned because I started on a random day instead of during my period, or the Sunday right after.
