A question about skipping periods

Last week I started my next pack of pills instead of taking the sugar pills in the pack so I could skip my period. Well this month I'm expecting my period next week and i've been getting really bad cramps like I've never had before, and my boyfriend joked that it was morning sickness. Well, now I'm freaking out a little, and I was wondering if any of you have any ideas as to why I could be having such bad cramps this month, if it could be because I skipped a period last month or if it might be morning sickness. Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks so much in advance.

It could be your body prepping for an early period because you skipped a period... I mean, sometimes when you skip it freaks your body out. I'd say, just wait and see how it goes. If you've taken all your pills on time, it's very unlikely that you're pregnant... And cramping typically isn't a sign of pregnancy. Some of the other ladies will likely have something to say about this too...

Good luck,

Hi chrissie923, welcome!

I agree with Susan. If you have taken your pills correctly you should be fine. Having skipped your period when Aunt Flo shows up this time she may a bit more intense than she ordinarily is during your regular pill-periods. Let us know when she arrives and how you're doing...

Good luck,
