Late (hasn't Come Yet) Period On the Pill Posted: 02-10-05 10:52am
My fiancee is on estrostep fe. She was
supposed to get her period on tuesday, but
there's nothing yet. She is pretty
regular, and is almost always on time.
She has never missed a pill in the 4 years
that she's been on it, but she did change
brands about 4 or 5 months ago. At what
point should we start worrying? Thanks
for any thoughts you have.

Hi there!
Guess what? If your lady is taking her
pills correctly then there's no need to
worry. Same thing just happened to me,
literally yesterday. Supposed to get my
period, didn't, but it came
eventually...
A lot of things can change when a period
comes... Stress, worrying too much,
illness... A whole bunch of things! Even
if you're on the pill for years you can
still become irregular every now and then
(you should take a look at the "slightly
concerned" post from yesterday).
Just wait it out, and if she doesn't get
it, don't panic... She can take a
pregnancy test if you need to reassure
yourself some more. I would say, if she
doesn't get it next month either, maybe
she should call her doctor and see whats
up. Hope that helps some!

She took an ept today and it turned up
negative so I guess we're ok. However, I
went and looked at the test again after
about and hour (it was sitting in the
trash), the negative mark is still there
but if I look veeeeery closely and hold
the test at a certain angle to the light I
can see a very faint outline of the
positive line. I'm a little more worried
now. Maybe am I just seeing the "testing
strip" area? It's not shaded at all, I
can just make it out at that one
particular angle. Looking at it straight
on there's nothing. Also, I looked at
the test about 10 min after she took it
and there was nothing then.

She did another ept this morning and it
was also negative, so we're both feeling
much better now. I guess maybe this is
just one of those random missed periods
while on the pill.

Boy have I been there!! Same thing has
happened to me, took a hpt and was
negative. Sometimes after being on the
pill for such a long period of time, it's
normal to not get a period. You guys
should be fine!!
