I'm 18 and I was supposed to get my period on the 20th. I've had my period for 3+ years, and its been very regular (ALWAYS early or on time.) I just got on birth control and since my period has been late, they gave me a shot so my period would start right away (so I could start taking the pill.) Well it's been more than 2 days, and I still havent gotten it. I'm not sexually active or anything, so pregnancy is out of the question. I know it's suppose to be irregular the first couple years, but I've had it longer. Should I be worried?
Additional info, added Saturday July 30 2005, 3:00 am: I mean.. i havent taken birth control yet (because im supposed to take it the first sunday AFTER my period starts.) But i got prescribed to it..

Maybe give some free advice about: Health? cookierat123 answered Thursday April 15 2010, 9:03 pm: Unless your doctor tells you that its something your should worry about, then no. I was on birth control for a long time and when I decided to get off it, I didn't have my cycle for over 3 months. Like you, my body takes longer than normal to adjust to changes like that. It's NOTHING to fret, I promise. :) [ cookierat123's advice column | Ask cookierat123 A Question ]

Mackenzie answered Saturday July 30 2005, 2:23 am: You said you "just go on birth control"? About how long ago? Sometimes when you start on birth control, some females don't even GET their period at all the first month. I really wouldn't worrie about it too much for the time being. It may just be your body adjusting to the hormones. =] [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
