Late Period
3

Well I missed my period last month and I have yet to recieve my period this month. I have been on BC for about 6 months now and have never been late with the pill. My bf has never stayed inside me and we've either used the pull out method or a condem every time. Could I be pregnate or can I just miss my period on the pill? I'm really confused and completely stressed out about this. Please help.

Hi heyjude_06, welcome

Two missed periods = at least a talk with your doctor! Some women can start skipping while on the pill but that isn't too common. If that's what's going on then Aunt Flo will show up whenever she's ready, which can be a bit disconcerting. You may not be pg. but your doc can run some tests to see what's happening. Are you eating a nourishing diet? Poor nutrition can also stop ovulation. Let us know what your doc. says, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

What kind of BC are you on? Sometimes high-progesterone pills (such as: Loestrin, Microgestin, Estrostep) can cause an absense of a period. When i was on loestrin i completely missed a period one month and freaked me out, but it did come back the next month, but yours may still be to come. So good luck to you! Did you try taking a home pregnancy test? It might calm you down.

Goodluck

yea i'm on Microgestin, but its weird this has never happened to me before. i'm considering the fact that i've been under a tremendous amount of stress and the stress of my miss period is just taking a toll on me. im going to take a home pregnancy test today. i'll keep you posted.
