Girls, who still have irregular periods, help?

[Anonymous]

According to my birth control pack, it should start today. But since it's irrrgular, I have a period tracker on my phone because it never actually starts on the correct day. According to the period tracker, it should come in 5 days.
Is it ok that im bloating and getting bad food cravings now? Or is it too early, do you think?
(I always get my period eventually, it just never starts at the same time every month).

So most BC packs are set to an average cycle of 28 days. Mine is a 33 day cycle. I have used the period tracker for almost 4 years. I thought mine were irregular until I really made a point of putting in start and finish and it turns out I just have a long cycle. Which causes it to be at different times in the month. It isn't uncommon for cravings to happen, sore breasts, bloating and mood changes to happen that much beforehand. You may suffer from PMDD if you have extreme pain that starts about 7 days before your period starts.

I get mine generally within a 3 day period of the inactive pills. You should be getting it sometime during the week of your inactive pills. If you are not and it's been longer than 3 months that you have been on this pill go to your Dr and ask for a different prescription that may be better. Not every pill works for everyone. And if it is not working correctly you leave yourself open to getting pregnant.

It's normal, but like in my opinion if you bleed a lot like I used to and your period lasts a really long time and this is compromising your health, I'd say go to the genicologist and have him prescribe you something... I did like a few years ago and I've been so much better now :)

It's coming. The longer you take the pill, the more regular they'll get. You're fine.
