Normally the periods are supposed to occur once in evey 28 days. Leaving 7 days for bleeding, the pills come in packs of 21. You finish the 21 pills and the period will come then once it is over start taking again from the 8th day. Again it will go for the 21 days.

I haven't ever taken that pill but most packages of pills are 21 days, 7 days off. The 28 pack of pills is the same really because only 21 pills are active and the last 7 are sugar and the only reason they do that is so you remain in the habit of taking your pill daily. Your doctor usually tells you to start your first pill on a Sunday so that means you will likely get your period on the Tuesday of the week where you are not taking any pills. The following Sunday you start again.
Lastly, if this is your first time taking birth control pills and you are planning on having sex I recommend an alternative effective birth control until at least your next cycle because you are not protected yet. Read the documentation on the pills to make sure when you are fully protected because you don't want an unplanned pregancy.

You take the 21 pills in the pack then the next week is to have a period, then after that week you start the next pack of pills. Your period will come in about 4 weeks.

Yes.. you take the whole 21 tablets (one each day) and then when they all have gone you take a seven day break. You will come on your period about 2 days into your break. After the seven days go back onto the next packet of pills even if your not finished your period.

i became on Loestrin for 12 years. I under no circumstances had any topics with it. under no circumstances had cramps, classes were very short, no PMS. I beloved it. even if, i visit under no circumstances use a hormonal BC ever again. it is taking my body too lengthy to start up making it is own hormones again because that being off.
