skipped one period, now waiting

I am on Alesse, and have been on it for 2 years now. I normally get my period 3-4 days after my last pill.

The first time i double packed, i got my period a week before i was supposed to, the second time i got my period 3 days before i finished my pack. Everyone always talks about breakthrough bleeding, so i thought that i would get btb this time around (when i double packed to skip a period). However i finished my pack, and i'm waiting for my period to come. I took all of the pills, at the same time (max 40 min apart)...should i be worried? Or is it just that my body is used to the hormones that i'll get my period on the day i'm supposed to get it? Thanks!

Hi 1hello, welcome!

I think you are probably fine and your body is becoming adjusted to skipping on your pill. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
