Ive been on bc for almost a year now, being a saturday starter.. I normally get my period monday morning.. I havent skipped any pills, and alway take them at exactly the same time. But its evening now.. And my period still hasnt come, this has never happened before.

Do u think I might have anything to worry about.. Or am I making to big of a deal over one day -.-

Hey kails, how are you doing?

Missing a period at the expected time when taking birth control pills (oral contraceptives) can be worrisome, but it's not unusual or harmful. If you miss two periods, in a row, call the clinic.

Best wishes,

You've been really careful so you shouldn't worry. I've missed my period a few times before. Also, the first couple years on bc I always got it on tues (sun start) and about the last two years it moved to wed. Hmmm?!

I agree with bkdaniels - if no period two months maybe check with your doc.

No worries!! :)
