FREAKING OUT! NEED ADVICE!!!

Hello everyone,

I have had a totally stressful weekend. Last month I switched from Yasmin to Estrostep FE. I did not miss any pills, the switch went smoothly with no lag in between. Just to be safe, my bf and I did not have sex the first week and then only had unprotected sex once right before my period was supposed to start. Now here I am finished with the reminder pills in my pack and still no period. What are the chances that I am pregnant. Has anyone ever switched pills with no lag time and missed their period. Is this normal??? I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was NEGATIVE so I am not sure what is going on. I am going to call my doc in a little while. Help please!!!!!

Sounds like to me that you did everything right. Your chances of pregnancy are EXTREMELY slim, especially with using condoms for most of the month. There are a lot of things that can cause irregular bleeding, like stress. Since this is your first month on Estrostep FE, your body is adjusting to the new hormones and your period may not come when you expect it to until your body is used to the hormones - usually about 3 packs. As long as you`ve taken your pills on time, haven`t vomitted one or had diarrhea within 2 hours of taking one, and haven`t been on any antibiotics, you should be good. And, in fact, all of those things really don`t matter because you`ve been using extra protection, too.

But, for your ease of mind, calling the doctor is a good idea. I`m sure that they can help to set your mind at ease.
