I Was a Month Late ... should I Still Start My Pills ? Posted: 08-01-07 01:03am
So I was a month late, and when I finally
did start it was really dark. I asked my
mom about it, and she said it was cuz it
was old ( I guess there's really no other
way to say it). I started taking my pills
anyway (Lutera) but I'm kinda wondering if
I should have or not since it was so
different this time, cuz I only bled for
like 2 days, and it never got even a
little heavy like usual, and I'm still
feeling bloated and moody, with occasional
cramps.
I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant...I took
4 tests (yes, 4) that said I'm not, so I
have no idea what's wrong with me. Can
anyone help?

Will this be the first time you've taken
the pills? Or did you stop and start them
again?
If you were on them before, and then
stopped, that could cause your period to
be weird. And it might take a couples
months of the pill for your period to
regulate, anyway.
If you period was just late, that could be
from lots of things. Stress, eating
patterns, just being young.... whatever.
Either way, go ahead and start taking the
pills. It won't hurt anything. It will
only help to regulate your period. But
don't be surprised if your period still
isn't regular right away, like I said, it
might take a few months to adjust to the
pills.
