Okay, so I have been taking loestrin 1/20 for 2 months. I haven't missed a pill, but i haven't taken them at the exact same time, but its been with in 2 hours of the set time every day. I had a normal period start on August 7, and had sex on august 22. My period should have started on September 3 and it hasn't. I am on the 3rd iron supplement pill. I'm worried i might be pregnant. I am planning on taking a HPT on monday, But could I just be late from emotional stress? or could it just be a weird side effect of the birth control? Anything anyone can offer as far as clarity would be lovely

you're probably just stressed, but birth control can mess with your periods the first two months, and you said you've just been on it 2 months so i really don't think you have nothing to worry about! to ease your mind you could take a test since you are late and i'm sure it'll help with the stress! trust me, stress can make your period late i was just 13 days late!
