Q: just finished first Diane pill pack - no period yet

Hi there. Im 17 and i on Sunday so i'm on my pill free week. My partner and I only had sexual intercourse twice when i was on the pill and it was unprotected. My period has always been dodgy and late but it is now Friday and there is still no sign of a period arriving although there has been more discharge. I am really petrified of being pregnant. Am i? I mean its not usually normal to completely miss a period or to be this late is it? Please help, i really cant stop thinking about it!!

As long as you have been taking the pill as directed, I don't think you have anything to worry about. It sometimes takes a while for the body to get on schedule when you start taking the pill.

i never missed a pill but i did sometimes take it a few hours later or a few hours earlier i mean it was never usually the exact same time on the dot every day but it wasnt far out and i hadnt been having sex all the time. i am going to take a preganancy test just incase but should i take my next packet on monday even if my pill hasnt started?

I think this is a false alarm so I would continue on the pill. But this is up to you to decide. If you are pregnant, continuing on the pill can harm the baby.

You're welcome. I'm glad it was a false alarm.
