If you don't get your period while on the "sugar pills" in the birth control pack (the pills where you're supposed to be getting your period), should you start another pack or keep waiting for your period?

Even if you don't get your period, complete the pack you are on before starting a new one.
I've been on the pill for many years and sometimes, I don't even have a period. You must complete the pack before you start a new one or you'll mess up your cycle!

if you don't get your period on the placebo/sugar pills when you're on birth control like you're supposed to, or have in the past, best bet is to take an over the counter pregnancy test...and don't start the other pack until after you find out the results from that...it could be stress or something else, but you wanna be sure before you start the new pack because it could harm the fetus if you are in fact pregnant

Start another pack once the placebo pills are gone like you would normally do. You may spot for the first few days of the new pack, and that's normal. Don't worry about not getting your period every once in a while. It's normal, especially if you're under a lot of stress, have been exercising more than usual, or have gained or lost a lot of weight recently.

You just keep taking the pills as normal. Finish the sugar pills and then start a new pack. women can skip a period when their on the pill.

continue taking it regularly.....you never stop taking the pills. Sometimes you can have missed or delayed pills while on birth control. You continue with the other pack like your supposed to. Also, you could be pregnant if you are sexually active. i would recommend taking a test if you think you are. Many people have gotten pregnant while on the pill.

Keep taking your pills on time. Sometimes it just happens late. If there is a chance you are pregnant, however, you should take a pregnancy test immediately. You may still have you period even after you start the next pack.

Never stop taking your bc pills without consulting your doctor first. You could just be under some stress which is a main cause of a delayed cycle starting. If you think you may be preggers, consult your doc asap. He/she will then advise you on what to do.

Continue taking the pills as you are prescribed to do. If you do not get your period in a reasonable amount of time, contact your obgyn.

I think you should get sure you're not pregnant first, and if you're not, start the new pack at the right date, cause if you don't, you won't be protected next month
