    When would a get af?

    This is the first time i've had the pill in about 3 years.
    I started the pack when my last af started which was the 2nd last non active pill. AF lasted about 2/3 days.
    Would I get the next af around the same time in the pack or should it have started on or about the first non active pill??

    I have been pretty good with having the pill everyday so I'd like to hope that i'm not pg. May have to test just to put my mind at ease. DH will FLIP if it's positive. We waited about 8 days of active pills before dtd.

    Gah, I feel like a silly teen asking questions. I just don't remember!

    I thought u were supposed to wait a whole month before using it as safe contraceptive? But then I started the pill back when I was 2002 and haven't been back on it since TTC back in 2010. It may have all changed since then! Lol! Hope that doesn't freak u out!

    But wih regards to the tablets and AF do u mean u started with sugar tablets? About two days worth and then active tablets? I normally got my period about 2 days into the sugar tablets? And my period use to last a week.

    Yep. Started af with sugar tabs, had about 2 sugar tabs then it went to active tabs.
    I vaguely remember getting af about 2-3 days into sugar pills also...

    I normally get mine 3-4 days into the inactive pills. My packet says it is effective 7 days after taking the active pills.
