effects of skipping period Posted: 04-19-08 13:15pm
I'm on the pill, but I recently had
surgery & had to take medications that
decrease the effectiveness of birth
control. I've never missed a pill, but
I've been a couple of hours late taking
it. This was our only form of protection,
he pulled out (which I know isn't a method
of protection b/c you can still get preg
from this).
Last month, I skipped my period on
purpose, so I didn't take the placebo
pills, I just continued taking the active
pills.
This month, I had PMS symptoms like the
huge headache and cramping (these are
normal symptoms for me). And I had a
period, but I wouldn't even call it a
period.. I usually start my period on Wed
morning and it's gone by Friday night.
This month, I started spotting very very
lightly on Sunday, 3 days early. I had an
light period for maybe 2 hours on
Wednesday, then by Wed afternoon, it was
finished, completley. I know that this
isn't stress related for me, stress
doesn't affect my periods, and I haven't
even been stressed lately.
I know that I might have thrown out my
period schedule by skipping my period..
but I thought that if I skipped a period,
the next one should be heavier, so that's
why I'm confused, it seems weird to me. Is
there a possiblilty that I could be
pregnant since my time of the month was so
light and short, almost non existant?

It guess it could be possible. If you
think you are pregnant, you need to get a
test.
Even though you don't consider yourself
under stress, it might be a factor, plus
having a surgery can really throw things
off: surgery may not be mental stress, but
it is physical stress. If you skip a
period there's no telling how it's going
to effect things the next month one way or
another. Every one is different.
Also, if you post this problem in the
birth control forum, you might get more
answers.
