what if I haven't had my period yet Posted: 07-01-06 01:32am


Hi, i've been on birth control for three years. I've switched brands a few times, but i've been on this brand for about a year, so that shouldn't make a difference. My question is: what if I haven't had my period yet? This is the 6th day of my inactive pills and I have only had some dark splotches (i usually get that right before I start my period but I haven't started yet). I always start on the night of the third or the morning of the fourth inactive pill. One time I started on the fifth morning. Is it normal to miss a period while on the pill? They were always really light, but I don't think that this splotching counts. Could it be that i've been eating a lot more lately? I've probably put on about ten pounds in the last two months... But I put on and lose weight often and it's never effected me. Bleh........

Over time, many women soemtimes do miss periods, or only have spotting instead. This can be distressing because these can also be signs of pregnancy. Just in case, it is always good to take a pregnancy test, but most likely you are just experiencing a lighter period.
