Confused Over Period
Posted: 04-20-07 22:14pm

I'm currently sexually active and taking an oral contraceptive (Nortrel). I have been for about a year and a half. My period usually comes Tuesday night, it is now Friday and there is no sign of it- not even spotting.

I took a pregnancy test yesterday, but it was negative. I take my pill religiously at the same time everyday. I even had period symptoms last week.

I've been sick all week (maybe flu), and I was wondering if that could be the reason behind this. I'm also extremely busy, so maybe stress too? This has NEVER happened to me, I always at least have some spotting. But this time it's like my period decided to go on vacation.

Any ideas of why?

.stress can definitely be a factor. .if it still hasn't come by the start of your regular pills .i would say test again just to be sure and to allow for a more accurate test.
