Pill user - period comes different day
| Tue, 09-21-2004 - 3:04pm |
Hi all...
So I'm a day one starter (in my case this is Friday). Anyways, so after my placebos start on a friday, I usually get my period sunday. This was pretty consistent for the first 5 months. But for the past 2 months it's come on Saturday.
Hey, I'm just happy it comes since I'm active, but I'm still curious... why is this? Could I be "adjusted" slightly to my roommate's schedule (and hers is ALL over the place). I was just wondering if hers was "pulling me back" that one day... it's no big deal, I'm just curious...
Thanks all!

I think it's pretty natural for your period to drift a bit while on hormonal contraceptives. It probably has to do with how the hormones react with your changing body chemistry. My guess is that Menstrual Synchrony has nothing to do with it. If neither you nor your roomie were on hormones there might be synchrony involved but not with your cycle controlled by your pills. For more on Menstrual Synchrony see: http://www.mum.org/mensy71a.htm Thanks for posting,
Take care,
