Just started the Pill, Need some help?

Ok So last month I went to the local health center becuase I was about 4 days late on my period. I took a pregnancy test there which came back negative so they started me on birth control on that day. 3 days after i started the pill I spotted a few times over the course of 2 days but no actual period.

Here it is a month later and during the sugar pills I didnt recieve a period. BUT when I started a new pack of the pills My period started.

I think the stupid doctor I saw shouldnt have started me on the pills til my period was over. I think my body is trying to get used to the pill, thats why its not 'on time'

But Do you think this is normal for having just started the pill? I only ask becuase my boyfriend is comepletely worried about it. He thinks I HAVE to have my period when I take the Sugar pills. I told him its gonna take some time to get into my system and come out right but he doesnt believe me lol

So basically the question is: Is this normal with the pill? Do I have anything to worry about? Also, How long does it take for the pill to be effective? I was told 1 month but is that true?

    You are supposed to get your period during the sugar pills, but when you first start the pill, you might not. At first, it's normal to get your period when you start your next pack, which you did, so I wouldn't worry.

    In a few packs, you should start to get your period during the sugar pills. If not, you might want to check with your doctor to make sure everything's okay.

    In short: yes, it's normal with the pill.

    Also, the pill should be effective once you are into your second pack.

    It is totally normal. It will probably take about 2-3 packs before your body regulates itself and gets used to the pill. You probably shouldn't have started until you started your period again because now everything is messed up. But stick with it, make sure to take your pill at the same time everyday and your body will be back to normal in no time!
