Ok lets just start with the fact that I started taking the pill lat august and was on it for about 8 months before I stopped taking it. Ever since then I havnt really had a balanced schedule of periods. I will go on the same day for about 2 months straight then I will be about 2 weeks late some months. A couple months ago I was about 9 days late and I thought I was pregnant took a prego test and it came back negative and about 3 days later I started. October and november I started on the 21 and 22 ...But I havnt started yet. I was should have started on the 22 of dec. Im now like 14 days late. The last time I had sex was on or around the 15th of dec. Im not having any symptoms of pregnancy like stomach pains or breat tenderness....But im just extremely worried. I was gonna wait a few more weeks to take a test. I read up a little on it and it said that if you miss 2 periods you are more then likely pregnant. The 21 of this month would be my second period. If anyone has any ideas please reply back to me. I know a test is the best answer but I just wanna know if this sounds normal or abnormal. Thanks alot

Were your periods regular before birth control? Also if you are going to wait to take a test, I would start to take folic acid just to be safe. It will not hurt you if you are not prego. My best friend had no signs of pregnancy for 2 1/2 months. Everyone is different and ever pregnancy is different. Do you want to be pregnant? Let me know how it turns out. Good luck to you.

I had the same problem I just went off birth control ... Now im back on it thank goodness ... But my period was just under 2 weks late so id say if u dont get ur period by jan 28th call ur dr for a blood test. Thats what my midwife suggested to me. I know its a long time to wait but the more u worry the longer itll take to get ur period. But as amy said ... Some ppl dont show signs of ever being pregnant and some do right away and taking the folic acid is a great idea just in case. But good luck and let us kno how things go.

I would just wait until the 21 ...(your next period) and see what happens ...Then if no period I would see the doctor ...Maybe you need to switch bc's ...That don't seem normal for it to make your period like that...But good luck... :wink:

Thank You

Thank yall so much for your concerns and questions. And to answer the first persons question...No my periods were never normal before birth control....They never were normal until I got on birth control and now that ive been off I have gone anywhere from 32-38 days from one period to the next.....But im working on 45 days from my last period this time. I wasnt trying to get pregnant no...Just a very immature act I had taken. We just got ingaged in september and pregnancy wasnt what we were trying for.....If I am I will be happy with it..Im totally againt abortion and what not...But if I am not ill be even more happy. I was on folic acid when I was on birth control but I had stopped taking them when I got offa birth control. Thanks so much to everyone who is helping me out.

Well keep us updated...Good luck to you, but this is what I would do. I would by a hpt that has 2 test in it. I would take one now and then take the second one after the next period is due to confirm the positive or the negative..
