So, it's my off the pill week and it's
Wednesday. I usually get my period on
Wednesday, usually in the afternoons but
right now... it's not here. I haven't had
sex since May, I've been taking my pills
regularly (not always on time but
regularly), and I haven't had sex since
May sooo...
Also, when I wiped there was some
pinkish/red colour on the tissue. Then
wiped again with new tissue and it was
completely clean. Am I missing something?
Is this normal? I've been on the pill
since February and I haven't had this
problem except for the time I tried to
skip my period...

Over time, BC makes your periods shorter
and lighter, and some women will only have
spotting for a 'period'.
It is normal to have extra light periods
while on BC.

It keeps changing for me. I went throught
two or three months where my period was
really light and short. Then over the
summer it was really heavy and lasted for
4-5 days. My non-pill week always makes me
paranoid.

If you want, and some women do this every
month, just take a preganncy test during
your placebo week.
It would be accurate by then, and would
ease your worries.

The thing is.. I shouldn't be worried
since I haven't had sex since... May. But
for whatever reason, I'm still paranoid.
and periods come at the worst time EVER. I
was supposed to get it on Wednesday. I
went to school prepared. Nothing happened.
Went to school yesterday and got my period
during my lecture class and wasn't
prepared.
