Question Posted Wednesday November 17 2004, 3:02 pm
Ok guys I am getting a bit nervous. I have been on my pill for a few months now. I take it the same time everyday, I dont forget to take them. I have 3 days left till I start a new pack and I havent gotten my period yet. When your on the pill should your period start before you start your new pack. If I dont get it by mid week next week I will take a test. But i am wondering if its normal to have not gotten my period yet. The last few months I had it already. Thanks for all your help guys.
I go off my active ones and I wait until my period starts and then I take the first active one that night. If you take them when your period starts, you won't need to use a backup method of birth control because you'll already be covered. Also, if you are worried about your period, then it will make it late because of the stress in your system. I'd say wait to start the active ones because then your period won't show up. If you quit the active ones and it still doesn't come within a week, then take a test. Good luck & let me know how things go.

Mine starts three days before I start a new pack, and is much shorter which is great. However if you don't get your period at all go over to the doctor to see if it is an issue with your pills or if you are pregnant. [ Notso's advice column | Ask Notso A Question ]

Everything will be fine! Hope I helped! Dont stress (: hope this leaves one in the inbox! [ xsunkiszed3x's advice column | Ask xsunkiszed3x A Question ]

It could have something to do with your MENSTURAL CYCLE or you may be pregnant. If you have been having sex.. then most likely you r pregnant. Take a test.
