Is the birth control "Jolessa" supposed to affect your period in the first month?

This is my first time ever taking birth control. I’m on Jolessa. I started taking it September 2nd. My last period was August 19th. My mom is a nurse & was saying it shouldn’t affect my period the first few months. It’s now September 21st & still no period or any signs of it. Could I be pregnant? I mean, it’s possible that I could have gotten pregnant before I started taking it. Also some girls DO get pregnant on the pill. But from what I understood I’m still supposed to have a regular period the first few months. Am I getting this right?

HELP PLEASE

Answer #1

i got my period a week late at the end of my first month on the pill which is normal for me, but i got it the day i started my ‘sugar pills’. so i really don’t think it affects when you get it since it’s a new thing for your body. but mine usually hurts and is heavy and it didn’t this time and it was light. so it might affect stuff like that.

Answer #2

Actually it’s not uncommon for a person to feel some side-effects the first few months of taking a hormonal contraceptive. Some people spot, some do find that their periods get messed up. Either way, you really ought to take the test just to be sure.

Answer #3

For me jolessa worked the month I took it my friend on the other hand took a few months. It is not something to worry about just means your body took to the horomones faster. If you are truly worried about ask to speak with your doctor.
