Cycling and your 'cycle'

and you may want to talk to your healthcare provider. They were able to switch me to another pill that basically eliminated the problem (in fact, I now take my "regular pills" in the 3 month cycle pattern with my Dr.'s blessing). That's not an uncommon thing to have happen, but there may well be other options out there...

Good luck!

I've been on the same pill for almost two years. I still start earlier than the placebo but that is only if I am not very strict on what time I take it everyday. If I take it at 8:30am every day then I start pretty much when I am supposed to. It makes a huge difference.

What Kimred says. Even just a few hours off schedule can trigger your periods to start earlier. (Although it doesn't impact I believe on the birth-control aspects.) Switching to a stronger pill can maybe have an effect on this, but then you probably do not want to take a stronger pill for no other reason...
