Period Delay on New Birth Control: Concerned About Symptoms?
Hello, I recently changed birth control pills and my period was normally starting on the 4th day of the placebo week, but I am already on the 5th day and still nothing (even though the symptoms are present - ovarian pain, bloating etc). Should I be concerned? With the previous pills, I never had such issue. Thank you.

Hi! A small delay like this can be normal, especially after switching birth control pills. Since you’re feeling period symptoms, it’s likely just around the corner. No need to worry but f your period doesn’t come at all or if this keeps happening, talk to your doctor.
