So I probably shouldn't be freaking out yet, but my period was supposed to start today -- I usually wake up with it on the last Tuesday of my birth control pills. But today, I got nada. I know I'm definitely not pregnant -- I haven't had vaginal sex since a couple days before New Year's Eve, I've had regular periods (like clockwork) up until today, and I've shown NO symptoms whatsoever. What could this mean? I've had a lot of medical issues down there since my last pap in March, and I had a colposcopy a few weeks ago that was followed by a yeast infection (not to mention I had just gotten over 2 vaginal infections right before I got my colposcopy). Could that have affected me being on my period? I have been super stressed lately... blargh. I don't like it when my system doesn't work properly!
Sometimes these things happen. I missed my period last month and I'm a bit worried that I'm pregnant but hoping it comes in this week. If not, off to the drug store I go. I already kind of joked with my husband about going to the drug store.
If you miss another month, it wouldn't hurt to have a gyn appointment.
My period gets totally out of control when I'm dropping weight. Even just a few pounds would make it come early or late. One month I spotted all month long and by the time my period was actually supposed to be here, nothing. I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you're that sure your not pregnant. It's probably just your body adjusting to the changes.
I've been on the pill for over ten years and a few years ago my period just stopped for 7 months. My doctor said it was very normal with women on hormonal bc and that it wasn't dangerous.
Since I started on the pill 4 years ago, my cycle, (which was regular and never any issues), has been messed up big time. I went off it for awhile, and wound up having a period like 2 or 3 times a month, and even though I back on the pill, it keeps trying to start. It also will be late by a few days as well.
Possibly the stress is a factor in you not starting?
I DID change the time I took my pill from when I wake up til right before I go to bed -- could that be why my cycle's messed up? I still haven't had any signs of Aunt Flo.
My last 2 cycles on the pill I had no period. If you have had a lot of infections and high stress events it is possible for your body to react by with holding your period. I think this is what has happened to me because I have been very stressed for the last 2 months. Stress does funny things to the body as does illness. I would wait it out and see what happens.
Aunt Flo made her appearance today; no more fretting! Lol
Glad to hear that. Birth control pills just messed me up when I was taking them. Now since I am menopausal I only see my TOM every 4 or 5 months. It's great!
Missed period while on birth control...huh?
