I'm so confused right now...for the past year and a half I have been on Desogen (BCPs) and I ALWAYS get my period by Tuesday, and it always starts out really heavy. This week I didn't start until Wednesday morning, and all day it's been very very light. I don't understand how it can just change all of a sudden. Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm not familiar with Desogen, but I am on Levlen. I had a problem a few months ago where my period was 5 days late, for no reason! It freaked me out, but then it went right back to normal the next month. I've never had any consistency problems (changes in the amount of AF) but I know that everyone is different. I also know that things like stress can cause changes in your period. I doubt it's anything to stress about, although you probably will - I know I did! Good luck!
