I Have Missed My Periods And I Am On the Pill Posted: 04-12-07 02:59am
I have been on the pill for at least 4
years now, i have been taking them
everyday around the same time. This has
never happened to me and i am really
scared. I have missed my periods!! I have
not any sexual intercourse since i last
had my periods. Since my last period i
have had a coloscopy and have just started
taking antibiotics for my Thyroid Glands
as they are inflammed. I'm still getting
period pain and the PMS like i would when
i normally get my periods. Could someone
please tell me what is going on?? I am I
pregnant or i am just other reacting??

Well, antibiotics can interfer with the
effectiveness of birth control. However,
you stated that you have not had sexual
contact since your last cycle. So
technically, you should not be concerned
with pregnancy.
Some people after being on the pill can
miss bleeding entirely for a month.
The best advice that I can give you is to
take a pregnancy test. The birth control
will not effect the results and it will
help to put your mind at ease.

Sure, you should always feel comfortable
calling your doctor if you have a
question. That is what they are there for!
They will be able to put your mind at
ease. If you are still concerned with
pregnancy (though you really shoudn't be)
they will be able to do a blood test.
Other than that, they will tell you if
they are uncomfortable with your reaction
(though it is very common) or that there
is nothing to worry about. It will put
your mind at ease either way.
