If the patient is on oral contraceptive pills, then the pills are taken for 21 days, then 7 days pill free period, then 21 days pill period, then it goes on like that. So in this 7 days pill free period, the first day or the 7th day or any time in between will get the periods. So if the patient has taken the pill 21-7, 21-7, then the period will happen in those 7 days, then it is a consecutive pill, that is you have taken the pill without any gaps. So when you do that then there will be no period is between unless you have missed a pill of the consecutive 2 or 3 packets that you have taken and the periods will resume only when you have stopped the entire packets. So if it is consecutively taken then the periods will start only after stopping the consecutive packets or missing the pill or if it is intermittent it will happen in the 7 days when there is pill free period.
