Hi, I'm a little uneasy feeling right now
becuase I'm going on the 3rd day of my
green pill and i haven't gotten my period
yet. I've been taking ortho triclyen lo
for about 8 months. I've never missed a
dose the past two months and take them at
the same time everyday except for the
weekend were i'm about an hour or 2 later.
I had my period the past months on the
second to last day of the light blue pill.
The past 2 months my doctor prescribed a
diretic for high blood pressure and
butalbital/aspirin/caffine caplets to be
taken as needed. I know some medications
interfere with birth control pills but my
doctor knew i was taking birth control so
i dont know why he'd prescribe something
that might interfere (I forgot to ask).
So, i'm really scared that i might be
pregnant, my boyfriend and i have
unprotected sex about 4-5 times a week. I
don't know how i could be pregnant if i
haven't missed any doses of my birth
control but i'm reall uncertain now that i
haven't gotten my period, any suggestions
anyone?? Sorry for the long post! any
help will be grateful!!

Well don't stress out, because that will
make your period later
I personally don't get my period until day
3 or 4, so give it some time. I don't
think the blood pressure medication
interfered with the birth control; but it
may have affected the build up of uterine
material, and it may have affected the
timing of your cycle

.like .eiri said, stressing will only make
your period later. .since you have been
taking the pill correctly the chances of
you being pregnant are very low. Many
people do no get their period until the
4th or even 5th day of their placebo pills
so what you are experiencing is normal.

Thanks for the support, that does make me
feel better! Today is the 4 day of
taking the green pills and still don't
have my period. I know worrying about it
will only make it worse, but that's hard
to control (I do have some anxiety issues
that don't help the situation) . I was
really stressing about it yesterday so i
went and bought a pregnancy test and did
it in the evening and it came back
negative (thank god!) but i know those
aren't perfect either. It came with 2 so
i'll test again maybe friday if i haven't
gotten my period yet. Hopefully i'll get
it soon. Is it ok to start the new pack
of pills even if don't get my period? Is
it possible to just miss your period
without you being pregnant or having
something wrong? I will make an
appointment with my doctor if i don't end
up getting it. Thanks!

Some women can have very light periods -
and some can stop altogether - while on
the birth control pill.
A negative pregnancy test is a good sign
you are not pregnant.
Continue taking your birth control pills
even if you do not start your period.

So i did end up getting my period really
late Wed night like 11pm, that was 4 days
into my placebo pill. Which is later than
normal. My period lasted until Sunday and
sunday was really light, and it was is
shorter than my normal periods. Now 11
days into my new pack i started i've
started to bleed very lightly/spotting.
I've never had this before while on the
pill. What does it mean? Should i worry?
