I was on the pill last year only because I wanted to time it so I would not have my period on the days of my sister's wedding, summer vacation, and my friend's wedding. I was on it for over a year, but now I just found out that I am going to lose my job!! My whole department will be outsourced to India this summer. I am still working and getting a paycheck so it's not like I have no money to pay my rent. It is still stressing though because I want to start looking for a new job now. I haven't had my period since Jan. 7th and just want to be on the pill so I can know when to expect it and focus my time on job hunting. Talk about STRESS!!! I know I need to get my period before I start the pill, but if I keep thinking about it, then it won't happen! I am stressing over this too much, plus, I'm starting to think about having sex with my boyfriend once I am on the pill. I need to calm down and stop thinking about all of this. What do I do? How do I do it? Do you think I should post this at another site like maybe "20 something hang-out"? Please help! Thank you in advance.

You should probably call your doctor instead....

when i was 16 and started the pill, before i started the first pack, my period was about 3 weeks late. i was a nervous wreck. not PG but had to take a test to make sure....i think once i just calmed down it finally came and i was able to start the pill.

def. call your doctor tho, it can't hurt to ask his/her opinion!
