I posted this in the birth control forum
but I think I might get a better response
here.
Hi there,
i have been on the pill for about 6
months. I had been off it for a few years
but before that I was on it for about 2
years. Basically, i'm pretty comfortable
with it. I usually know exactly when to
expect my period.
Last month I started my pill when I got my
period on june 27th. Usually I get my
period 24 days later (on the wednesday of
the sugar pills) in other words, july
20th. About 10 days into my pills I
dropped one down the drain. I was halfway
through my second week of pills.. So I
went to the pharmacy to get another pack
to replace the pill I lost. The
pharmacist assured me it was ok to just
skip that pill and continue on as usual.
He said basically.. "don't worry, the
pill starts working as soon as you take
it. The worst that can happen would be
maybe getting your period a day late."
he also told me it would be ok to skip a
month of pills when I called him to tell
him my period was late. Although now i'm
reading websites that say the complete
opposite, to continue taking your pills no
matter what. :(
well, it's been 11 days now and still no
sign of my period whatsoever. I took a
pregnancy test tuesday and it was
negative. I've never missed a period on
the pill. I don't understand what could
be going on.
Another thing is, this wednesday I had
unprotected sex so now i'm worried that
since i'm no longer taking the pill, that
an egg might have been released and
considering I usually have a 24 day cycle,
according to ovulation calculators, i'd be
ovulating between july 28th and july 30th.
And I had sex on july 27th. But on the
other hand, if I didn't have my period, it
should maybe mean i'm not ovulating..
I'm soooo confused and quite frankly a bit
scared. Anyone had similar experiences?
Thank you

Missed period Posted: 02-04-08 09:39am
Hello, I have some concern my LMP was on
December 17th 2007. I have a 8 year old
daughter already. I only been pregnant 3
times in my entire life. I do know that
every pregnancy is different. It seem to
me the more pregnancies you have the
different symptoms you have for each
pregnancy too. I think I maybe pregnant
because me and my fiancee never use
condoms. We both been trying to get
pregnant now almost 2 years. Since I
missed my period it makes me think I'm not
pregnant because I missed before and was
not pregnant. The only reason I think so
is because I'm having a few symptoms
lately. My breast are much fuller &
swollen, my breast doesn't hurt at all
just tender at times then go away. I have
cramps like I'm about to have my period.
My cramps are mild lower back area. My
tummy looks very bloated too it looks
different or fuller. Can someone help me
with my concerns please. I know someone
may be helpful out there?....
