Q: Missing a Period

Hi...I have a question about my birth control method and cycle. I am on cyclessa and was supposed to start my period a week ago but instead there was only a tiny amount of pink-colored discharge (sorry if too much information!). So, I did not consider this a normal period and am now worried. I have been on bc for over a year now and always take my pills on time (except for a few hours late about 3 times the last month). I had other symptoms before my period, such as frequent urination, breast tenderness, all that. But I am still worried because my period was not normal. Then again, i've heard that low estrogen level pills can make your period very light. Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone have any advice? I am really scared right now and cannot begin to think about possibly being pregnant. Hopefully some of you can calm my worries. Thanks.

Laura

Hi there!Sometimes your periods become almost nonexistant on the pill.If this continues and it bothers you not to have a period,call your doc.If you think that you might be pregnant,get testedsometimes switching pills can help to have a more noticeable period.This happened to me several years ago and my doc laughed and asked if I missed it so much that I needed to see it!(i've known him for years,it's how we joke around).Good luck to you!Patty
