withdrawl bleed active birth control pills Posted: 02-07-08 04:37am
I'm on the pill.
I was approaching my withdrawl bleed but
i decided to skip it and continue with the
active pills in the next packet because of
a special event.
Instead of taking all the active pills in
the packet and just waiting to get to the
placebo pills in that packet, i decided to
start taking placebo pills a couple of
days after i was originally meant to.
I still havn't got my withdrawl bleed and
i'm quite worried. Has anybody else ever
experienced this problem? Should i expect
my period?

i do that sometimes. it's never posed a
problem for me. i always get my withdrawal
bleed a few days after the active pills.
how many days has it been since you
stopped taking the actives? are you
concerned about pregnancy? cos i think
sometimes women don't get a withdrawal
bleed on the pill. i don't think it's
common, but it happens to some people and
doesn't neccessarily mean they are
pregnant. a doctor told me this anyway.
Once i had an event to go to so i ran two
packs together back to back without taking
any placebos and guess what? my withdrawal
bleed came anyway! even though i was
taking active pills. apparently running
packs back to back like that doesn't stop
some women getting their monthly bleed
anyway.
I suppose what i am getting at is that
sometimes the pill does weird things! it's
probably just cos you messed about with
the usual cycle, so wait a few days and if
you still get no period then ask your
doctor to see what they say about it.
