I started Sprintec on a Tuesday because of my very irregular periods. I was not on my period when I started taking the pills. I am now on my first day of the white pill and I have not had any type of bleeding. I'm confused because I thought I was supposed to get my period on the last day of the blue(active) pill.??

No, you would not get it on the last day of the active pills, because when you experience a menstrual cycle, while taking hormonal contraceptives, it is actually a withdrawal bleed from stopping the hormones for a day or two. Thus, you would need to be taking the inactive pills for a day or two, in order to experience a menstrual cycle.

Are there any other questions I can help with?
