Should I be worried?

I've been on pills called Zovia, for the past 8 months. I've always taken my pill right on time, except two weeks ago I took my first white pill(4th row), 6 hour late. I got my period right on time last week, but today I noticed weight gain about 5 pounds, and my stomach looking like it's bloated. Of course I panicked and started worrying about things. Could I take HPT now and see even though my aunt flow came right on time?

Worried,

J.

Hi after_leptirica, welcome back!

The 4th weeks pills are inert and are used only to keep the user in the habit of taking her pills every day, so being late with one of the 4th weeks pills will not reduce the effectiveness of your pills. If AF was on time then I don’t think you have anything to worry about. But, if you are freaking out you can always test just for peace of mind.

Good luck,
