maybe im just paranoid
| Tue, 08-24-2004 - 12:24pm |
i started on the pill about a month ago and im on my fourth week of my pills, my reminder week. its the third day of my reminder pills and i havent gotten my period yet. my boyfriend and i dont always use another method of birth control and rely on the pill as our method. im very good with taking it at the same time every day...but im still concerned i could get pregnant. am i just a little paranoid because im new to the pill?

I don't usually get my period until the 4th or 5th day of sugar pills, personally. Also when you are new to the pill, your periods are often funky for a while (late, early, etc). But I'm not sure how long it takes for the pills to make you safe from pregnancy, so if you had unprotected sex very early in taking the pill, it is possible you got pregnant then. One of the other ladies on this forum would know about that better than me. I'd say just be patient and see if it doesn't come later in the week and try not to worry too much!
