strange question........hope you can help!

so today i get my period..................however, I am on the pill. this will be my last month. Tomorrow is supposed to be my last pill, and then I am supposed to get my period. HOwever, i got my period today.
Do I count today as my day1 of my new cycle? or do I wait until i take my last pill and see if i get my period again? Confused!!!

Yes, today is CD 1. The last few pills in a b/c pack are usually placebos, anyway. You don't need to take them.

Doesn't matter how many pills you have left - the first day of real "flow" is CD1 (which would be today if you got AF today). If you just have spotting, or no flow today, but you know its AF, then today is not CD1. CD1 is always the first day of actual blood flow.

hope that helps!

Hmm, I can see why you're a bit confused since normally it seems that you wouldn't have gotten your period for a few days from now (after you had STOPPED taking the BC pills), right?

I would count today (or the day you got your period) as CD1 regardless of when you stopped the pill. I don't think 1 day will make too much of a difference. That said, don't be shocked if you have an "off" period this month, since it will be the first off the pill and also since your last period started earlier than usual.

Good luck!
