Dragonflymagic answered Monday September 30 2013, 4:42 pm: From what I've read, it takes a week for the effectiveness of the pills to build up in your body. If you waited nine days, then you are not pregnant.
When you take the pill, it does have side affects in quite a few females. Some get break through bleeding, bleeding when they shouldn't and others don't get their period when they should...and its all because we are messing with the bodys natural cycle. Literally, the hormones you are taking are tricking the body into believing it is pregnant. If a women was truly pregnant, there are certain changes that can happen but don't happen to all of them...but one that happens to all is, there is no period. Eventually the lining in the uterus thats waiting for a fertilized egg has to flow out, right now its just delayed due to confusion.
Other symptoms from taking the pill can be weight gain, tenderness in breasts, moodiness, headaches...the list goes on. For peace of mind though, it would be good to call and talk to your doctor and see what they have to say. They may have you wait a certain amount of time for period to start and if not, then take a pregnancy test. and they will monitor how you do on the pill and if there are too many other symptoms you can't live with, they will try you on a different birth control.
