It’s not failing. Ur withdrawal bleed/“period” can come at anytime during that week, from the first day to the last day. Plus, one of the ways hormonal birth control works is by thinning the uterine lining, which can sometimes result in little to no bleeding. Also, if u have been on the birth control for less than 6 months, then ur still in the adjustment stage, in which irregularities are normal during that time.

BC is supposed to make your periods shorter and lighter, so if you still haven’t started but have been taking it everyday then just keep taking it.
