AF is missing in action....
| Sun, 09-05-2004 - 6:54pm |
Okay, I've been on the pill for over two years...I had read in cosmo that a convinet way to avoid a period on, lets say a vacation week is to skip the spacer pill and just take the hormone ones all the time....well i asked my doctor about the risk of doing that on a regular basis and she said there should not be a problem as long as a took the space pill every couple of months. i've been have a periond about every 3-4 months for the past year. So for about the last four months i havent taken a spacer pill, now for the last 5 days i've been taking them...and sill no AF.....is it just because my cycle's off or should i go and see about a pregnacy test....oh i sould add that normally if i miss one of my homrome pills i start spotting right away.
I'm a little worried...cuz i've been feeling bloated, and my nipple have started to be alitte sore....

It typically takes 3-5 days after stopping active pills for AF to arrive but can be more or less. If you have been extending your cycle on BCPs what has been her normal arrival time? Bloating and sore nipples may be a sign that she is on the way. If you have been taking your pills correctly you are probably ok. If AF is late based on her last few arrivals and you are concerned you could test to see where you are. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
