i just started the Pill today, as approved by my doctor, but i should be getting my period in anywhere from 2-4 weeks. is it okay if im still taking the blue (hormone) pills while im on my period? or do you only have to take the green (non-hormone) pills when you have your period? will my body just wait until im done with the blue pills to start my period? how does this work?

First time pill user...

You don't change anything, regardless if you are having your period or not. Take the pills in the correct order daily. Don't concern yourself about which pill to take and when, except to take each one as marked on the pack.

In addition to what sdp said, I think (maybe some else can verify or refute this) they're supposed to be taken at about the same time everyday for maximum effectiveness. That's what my wife said her doc told her, anyway.The other beneficial point to that is, taking them at the same time every day will help you remember 'em or so the theory goes.I know that wasn't your question but thought I would throw it in.

Yes you are correct. At that same time each day. My wife took her's before going to bed each night.

Also it may take a month or so for your body to adjust to the new schedule but you should get your period when you start taking the green pills.
