feeling nervous...

Hi all...haven't posted in awhile, but I've been lurking. I'm feeling nervous b/c I don't have my period yet. Granted, this is my first day of placebo pills (I'm on Yasmin), but I usually get my period about 2-3 days before I start the placebo pill week. I've only been on the pill since the end of January, and I know it takes a few months for your body to get it straight, but I've always started my period on them prior to starting the placebo week. I'm nervous b/c I had surgery over a month ago which required antibiotics and for me to miss my pill for two days. I was in the third week of that pkg. of pills at the time. When I got home, I just took 2 pills for 2 days in a row and finished the rest of my pkg. I got my period during this week. I didn't have sex for 1 1/2 weeks after that. When I did, we used a condom as backup. I've had bouts of diarrhea due to post-op symptoms of my surgery (totally normal) which worries me. But, it usually happens after my pill has been in my system for at least 2 hours.
Do you think my body is just trying to straighten itself out after all it's been through in the past 1 1/2 months? It's technically been about 27 days since my last period finished.
Please help- I'm just so worried. :( TIA!

Thanks for the advice. I'm just feeling so nervous b/c I'm a little stressed at work right now, and I don't need this to worry about on top of it. I just hope that AF gets here soon- I don't care if she visits for 2 weeks as long as I see her! Hopefully she just hasn't come b/c my system is screwy, and b/c my pill taking was disrupted b/c of the surgery and antibiotics. I tried to be careful by using backup and withdrawal.
I hate this worry... it's no fair that girls have to go through this!

Thanks, and I'll let you know when AF gets here.

Hooray! AF has arrived. I feel like a ton has been lifted off of my shoulders. I suppose my system was just messed up this month b/c of the surgery, IV antibiotics, and missing my active pill for two days in a row.

I have cramps today, and I felt like crap yesterday. This is all pretty unusual. Maybe it's just different this time. But please reassure me- there can be no chance that I'm pregnant since AF has arrived today, correct? I feel like I'm just having a weird period, since it was later than usual. It has been coming about 2 days prior to my placebo pill week, and lasting pretty much all week after that. Since it started on day two of my placebo pill week this time, will it stop on Sunday when I start my active pills again?

Thanks!
