Got my period early
Okay, so I'm on birth control pills and my periods are always evenly spaced apart, but this month I got my period like a week early. A day and a half before I got it though my boyfriend and I had sex a few times. Could that have made it come early or is there something wrong with me that I started so early?

As far as I am aware, a lot of sex can't bring a period on but sometimes these things do just happen. If you've been on medication or perhaps taken your pill a little late or been stressed etc, this can upset your hormoncal balance and affect when you get your period.
Generally, my rule of thumb is as long as you do get your period, there's not a lot to worry about but if there's anything else significantly different about this period (more painful or lighter or heavier flow that normal) it might be worth seeing your doctor, just to be on the safe side.
Good news is, at least you're not pregnant!!

There's nothing wrong with you. Don't worry. :] Not all women stay on the exact same "spacing". Meaning: everyone is irregular sometimes.

No it's fine. Don't worry. It's so common to have irregular periods every now and then. It's just irregular and you may stay on this cycle. Bottom line, don't worry you are fine.

It is completely common to have a period that comes early or late. Soemtimes that means you are irregular. alot of women are. Sometimes women are sometimes irregular and some months they are right o time. Sex doesnt have anythign to do with it it has to do with women.

Every woman experiences some irregularity in her life; a week early is nothing to worry about.
Stress can cause alterations in your cycle, for one thing. But if you're really bothered, talk to your OB/GYN.
"Is it common to be irregular sometimes if you're on the pill too?"
Yes. The pill generally makes periods *more* regular, but some women do find that it makes their periods irregular.
From [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) -
"Most women have no side effects when taking the oral contraceptive pill, but some women do experience irregular periods, nausea, headaches, or weight change. Each type of oral contraceptive pill can affect each woman differently."
And in any case, the pill doesn't turn you into clockwork; being off by a week isn't that surprising or unusual. Still, if you're stressed, a call to your OB/GYN will set your mind at rest. She'll almost certainly tell you that it isn't even worth coming in for an appointment.
