Confused
Posted: 11-09-07 10:58am

I am on EstroStep FE.
I take my pills regularly at the same time everyday.
I know you can get pregnant while on the pill, I am not stupid.

I know it's possible to to miss periods while on birth control, bleed less, etc. However, it has yet to happen to me.

What I am experiencing is, I was due for my period this whole week, Monday-Friday. I usually have it all five days, however, I didn't. I bled while at work yesterday, and that is pretty much it.

Being sexually active you should always be concerned, but should I be now, or is it just a random act of mother nature?

Thanks.

Could be a random act of mother nature. You could just be a little bit late this time (maybe due to extra stress or something else). Wait until your placebo week is over.. and if you don't get your period then take a pregnancy test. Good luck.. I went through the same thing and had to wait it out.. but it turned out ok for me Smile

Even though you only had LITTLE bleeding, start your NEW PACK ON TIME.

If you do not, THEN you are at risk for pregnancy.

OVER TIME, BC pills lighten and shorten periods in almost all women, it it could finally be your time.

You could take a pregnancy test to ease your worries.
