late period. On the pill
| Thu, 09-08-2005 - 6:24pm |
Hi,
I am 41 yrs. old, have been on the pill for about 15 years with no problems. I have been under a lot of stress at work this past month especially and 2 weeks ago was stung by a bee and had a bad reaction (but I did not get any medical attention). Anyway....my period is 4 days late which is very unusual given that I'm on the pill (Ortho Novum 777). I had cramps for days as usual but no "aunt flo". Has anyone every had this happen to them or heard of it happening to anyone? I know stress can cause you to miss a period, but is that still true if you are on the pill? I'm in good shape, haven't been on any other meds...Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi jmf,
I've had the same experience before (not including the bee sting). I've gone about 3 days late before getting it and I'm also on the pill. I really believe that stress has a lot to do with it. Good luck!
