Question
I have a question. I got my period a week and a half of my new pill pack. would not starting a new pack till my following period help my cycle go back on track. (meaning i get me period the week of the sugar pills not a week and a half after starting a new pack)
I really do not understand what you are asking. You seem to say that you had bleeding a week and a half after you began a new cycle of pills. You seem to be asking is that kind of bleeding normal. You seem to say that normally you have a regular monthly cycle on the pills. Your healthcare provider would probably ask how long you have been taking the pill, how old are you, did you miss any pills, did this ever happen before, did you have sexual intercourse this cycle, and other questions. These questions would have to be answered before one can provide an answer to you.
