first month of birth control pills?

ok so I've been having cramps, I only sometimes get cramps when I start my period, and I'm nearing the end of my white pills (the last week is pink ones, I'm using lutera or whatever) but I don't really know much about it.

I haven't got my period yet, I have the rest of the week for the normal pills. I heard sometimes you don't get your period the first month, but I don't know

also, when do they start preventing pregnancy?

and what do I need to know about them? sorry if this is a confusing question but please help

    About 1 week after takin them they can prevent pregnancy but they can also cause blood clots the best form of protection is still good

    Old codoms but a copper IUD is what everyone I know gets, or a depo shot they protect you from pregnancy for LONG periods

    Of time and you don't have to worry about missing a pill and becoming pregnant!!
