Confused And Scared
Posted: 11-16-03 01:56am

I still haven't recieved my period, but then again i'm not sure if that's becaused i've missed a month 1/2 of pills or if i'm preg. The last period I had was oct.2. The oct. 31 didn't come, but had that light/spotting thing a week after losing pills. I took a hpt a week after my missed period and it was neg. But i've had people tell me that that's too early to detect hcg. My nipples are tender and have been for about 3 wks. I don't think my stomach is hard but then again I don't know what i'm looking for. I've had some nausea but it's not a lot just every blue moon. However, my period was suppose to have came on halloween but it has yet to come or try to come. The last I saw of anything remotely like it was a week after I stopped taking the pills because I lost them...And that was not a normal period anyway.
I have an appt. To find out the 25th. But i'm wondering if i'm worrying for nothing and the neg was right? What signs should I look for? Are my pills still in my system since i've been taking them for several years? Please help because i'm confused and very scared.

What you are feeling is normal, and anyone in that situation would always assume the worst. The same thing happened to me last month. Well not the exact same thing, but ya know. If you took only half of your whole months worth of pills, and a few days to a week after you had some sort of bleeding going on down there, then I would say that you are fine. It was too close in time for you to have a full period again, and your cycle is probably really screwed up now. If you have been on the pills for a few years without ever stopping then I think you are fine. Your cycle doesnt really know what to do because you took some pills but didnt take 28 days worth, and the fact that you are stressed could be holding it off. If you were pregnant I think it would definately show up in a test now. I'm glad that you made an appoitment just to be on the safe side. If it happens again call your doctor and ask them to write you a prescription, then just start where you left off. I hope that everything works out and you are ok.
P.S-- you should think about switching to the patch, its the best thing since sliced bread, I love it!!! Its so easy you dont have to worry about taking a pill everyday or losing your pills!!! Smile

You're probably right about the patch. Your words are very comforting and reassuring. I'll let you know what happens with the appt.

Lots of love, hugs, and sunshine, babygirl

I'm glad to hear that, thats what I was aiming for. I went through it last month, and I was really freaked out, and I wish I was part of this so I could have talked about it. But I hope that everything turns out ok :d
