Hi all just wondering if you could help,
last week my better half took one extra
pill at the start of her pill free week
which was monday. Her period was meant to
start on friday or sometimes saturday but
it still hasnt. Now she thinks something
is wrong because it is never late.(she is
a bit of a worrier) but I manage to keep
her sane. Can taking 1 extra pill do
this.
She has had the usual signs cramps, bad
moods getting upset and spots
hope you can help.

The pill is an extra dose of hormones, so
it tricks the body into thinking that
there is a foetus developing in the womb
like it would in pregnancy. I'm not
entirely sure if the pill can delay a
period, but it might. Also tell her to
stop worrying and relax, as if she is
worrying about it a lot then this can
delay her period (been there done that).
Also if she has only just started to take
the pill, then it does wreak havoc with
the cycle, so periods can become delayed
or they can be closer together. Overall
the pill regulates the cycle alot more
often, but for the first 3 months the body
is getting used to the extra doses of
hormones. So that could explain the
delayed period.
