how can I fix irregular period caused by taking birth control pill at the wrong time?

Q: I am on a birth control pill called Yaz. I take my pill around the same time but sometimes I am late or early within half an hour to an hour. I started to spot 4 days early before my sugar pills and my period. How can I get it to go back to normal?

A: You know I think it’s just Yaz, I’m on it too and mine started two days before I started the sugar pills and I’ve read online it happening to other people! I don’t really know what advice to give on it, but I can assure you I’ve read birth control is okay if you take it at least once a day and don’t miss a pill, so being a little off won’t mess you up as long a you’re taking it!

A: This is the case for me, too. My period started this morning, 6-7 days after I expected my period. It may have been a chemical pregnancy for me. I am very, very upset, and I was really thinking I was pregnant. I did take a test this morning, and swear there was a faint + line, as did my husband.
