First time taking the combined pill but no period

Hello everyone.

I was just wondering if anyone can give me some advice.

I have started using the pill for the first time on the day my period was supposed to arrive. It's been 4 days with the pill now and my period has still not arrived. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

You are meant to wait for your period to actually arrive before you start taking the pill, not just take it on the expected day so you more than likely won't have a period while you continue to take it.

Not what you're looking for?
