Tri-previfem, Sunday Starter, Period Stopped

Okay so I have searched high and low and even asked my pharmacist but I don't think they understood my question. I was on the implant for years and after bad side effects switched to the pill (tri-previfem). I went a month without any form of birth control between the two to let my body sort itself out and DID NOT have ANY intercourse, remained abstinent. My period started on Sunday and I started my BC pack day one, week one - 746 pill (white/greyish) - on that Sunday that I started. I've taken it for three days now and my period stopped, is that supposed to happen? I know I'm supposed to have my period on the last week (week 4) so is it supposed to stop my period once I start taking it the first week? If I could get an answer I would be soooooo grateful! Thanks in advance!

Hello, Shay! How are you?

Yes, that can happen and is usually nothing to worry about, unless your doctor feels otherwise.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight gain and PMS-like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I believe you are supposed to start the pack the Sunday after your period ends, not begins, so I think that's why it stopped and may be a little off schedule. You're supposed to start bc pills at the end of your period because you start an "active" pill pack meaning you won't be on a period until the end of that pack. If that makes sense. I'm sure it will be fine, but that's probably why it's off this month.
