AF is late and I'm getting really nervous. I'm super careful about taking my pill on time, I take it at midnight every night and am never more than a half hour early or late taking it. When daylight savings time started I even insisted my b/f wear a condom in case the time difference messed things up. Can anyone think of anything that might have tripped me up? I haven't been on any antibiotics, just some Tylenol Cold/Advil for a stuffy nose I've had. This is really bothering me, please help!

If it reassures you at all, I am on Loestrin also (generic) and I totally skip my period at least once or twice a year. It comes after my next cycle of pills.

I don't think you have anything at all to worry about. Try and relax although I go thru some stages of paranoia from time to time too so I can relate.

My humble opinion is you're perfectly safe.

Thanks all...it's just that I always get my period by Tuesday at the latest and it still hasn't showed up yet. If I don't get it by tonight should I take an HPT?

If you're really insistent on taking a pg test, I would wait until the day that you are supposed to start the active pills of your next pack of pills.

Skipped periods do happen on the pill. I used to skip at least a couple of times per year. Once I got used to the fact that I didn't always get a period, I never worried about pregnancy until I'd missed two periods in a row (once I missed 4 in a row & wasn't pregnant, boy was I freaking!!!).

Good Luck, there is a really good chance you aren't pregnant!

I agree...you may be a little premature with the HPT. There's a really good chance you won't get your period this month but will get it next month.

But for your own peace of mind, wait a few more days and test.
