Ok, just to clarify-- you stopped taking birth control for a few months because you're ttc, but for reason I won't ask about, you took one pill at the end of your cycle?

Have you tested? I mean, if you've been ttc then its a good chance your pregnant. Taking one birth control pill would not affect your period that much if at all.

If it comes out negative then you may be under a lot of stress and that's whats causing a little delay in your period.

yea it know it was stupid , i still have no clue why i did ?
i havent tested yet , no. But i am eaither tm or the next day . never ever have i ever been late not once. I figured since i took that one pill (stupid me ) it jigged it all up on me , so now im confused.
Not sure if my symptoms of that or PMS , Like i usualy get up at 11 in the morning & now i sleep right till 1-2 i just dont want to get out of bed. My cramps are mild but they are there at times.
& im not under any stress

No, I don't think it would cause that big of a change, if any. What kind of pill was it and when you say at the end of your pack, do you mean you took one of the the last week pills?

So it was a placebo pill or a pilll you would take during your period?
If that's the case then I know it had nothing to do with your period.

So out of the 28 pills, you took the 26th pill?

Thats a reminder pill, it doesn't have any hormones in it.

Is it possible to get your partner to get you a test?
If you've been ttc, I'm assuming your partner is just as interested in the results.
