I take OTC and have never had a problem yet...I am already on my second green pill and still no period. I feel like its about to come but it hasnt yet and im starting to get very paranoid. I have sex regularly but always with protection aside my pills. I HAVE NOT MISSED ANY.. i havent experienced any other signs that indicate pregnancy. I am very worried...what if it doesnt come? Does this mean i am pregnant? is it common to miss a period while on the pill? My last cycle was normal after a day or two of spotting right before. HELP ME ANY ADVICE MIGHT HELP MY WORRIED MIND

It is very common to miss a month or more. When I was on Estro-step FE, I didn't have my period for 5 months. Not even one spot! My GYN said that is perfectly normal. I wouldn't worry about it if you have been as careful as you say.

I believe "normal" is considered getting your period somewhere between the 2nd & 5th placebo pill.

Frequency of sex will not have an effect on your birth control pills!!! If you're taking them at the same time daily & not getting sick within about 2 hours of taking them you should be fine.

You said in your first post that you also use another method of birth control? Do you mean condoms? Then you really should be fine.

Whoa, ice…. Just cool it girl!

Typically your pill-period will show between the 2nd and 5th placebo pill, sometimes sooner, sometimes later. If you have been taking OTC correctly and using condoms too you should be very safe. It’s not unusual to miss a period from time to time while on the pill. I’m pretty sure you’re panicking over nothing. Post and tell us when AF shows, ok?

Good luck

i'm guessing someone already posted this but when i was on the pill my day's gradually varied. it went from the 2nd green pill to the third. then the 4th. so i was getting periods on wednesdays. and it stayed that way for years. so i wouldn't worry about it! ;)
