Q: Strange Period On Bc

asked by: rubbersoul on July 17th, 2005

Hi all,
i've been on dianette for nearly a year, and have had perfectly normal, regular, averagely-heavy periods.
However, this month my period was really strange; it was really light, only really spots, and brown-y coloured for a few days.. Then for another two days it was still lighter than usual, but red; and then it stopped altogether.
This is really not usual for me!
I have been stressed lately, with starting a new job, and I have been having sex; but I take every single pill on time without fail.
Just wondering if I should be worried?!
Thanks!

Re: Strange Period On Bc

Rest easy!! I would not be concerned with being pregnant. Stress can be a major factor with messing with your period. The more you worry, well the more it gets messed up. My suggestion would be to relax, take a day off and if it doesn't come next time, take a test just to be on the safe side. Good luck!!

Yeah, you shouldn't worry. You've been a faithful pill-taker so there really shouldn't be a problem. Stress can definitely trigger some strange things and affect your period.

Congrats on the new job!!
