Omgosh I thought I was fine about this but as I put my head down to sleep I can not stop thinking about me not gettign my period today.

The thing is we used condoms, they never broke, i'm on bc.
I had sex last friday, missed my pill the day after, took two pills the day I realized I missed one (STUPID STUPID STUPID)
and I had sex the following friday
it's the second day of my placebo pills tomorrow
and no period, no signs of my period, not even the pinkish secretions, nothing

i am freaking!!!
i have to get up at 6:45 tomorrow and its 12:56 i'm really nervous and i can't stop thinking about it.

my last period was 7 days long and heavy as heck. could that perhaps make my next period not come or something?

Once again, calm down! You`re not doing yourself any good by freaking out.

If you are using condoms in addition to birth control pills and they never broke, your chances of getting prengnant are almost nonexistent. Take a deep breath!

Missing one pill is not the end of the world. It was only until recently that pill users have been advised to use back up if they miss one pill and it`s highly doubtful that missing a pill, so close to the end of your cycle, caused ovulation or anything. AND, anyways, you`re using condoms! Missing one pill isn`t really a big deal because of this.

Tomorrow is only the second day of your placebo pills. Most women begin somewhere from day 2 to day 5 and it`s pretty uncommon to begin on day 1. Just because there are no "signs" doesn`t mean that it`s not in it`s way. Just try to relax and give your body the time to do it`s thing. Worrying about it obsessively isn`t helping you, especially if other areas of your life will suffer, like school, work, etc.

Just try to remain calm, okay? I am positive that your period will be along any time now.

Hon, I'll bet AF will be along any time now. It takes a while for her to get into a schedule she's comfortable with. As we said she typically appears somewhere between days 2 and 5 of your hormone free week. In the meantime all you can do is be prepared for her arrival and wait. Hang in there sweetie!

Good luck
