Q: Please Help, Missed Period After 11 Yrs of Pill!

I have been on the birth control pill for 11 years now since I was 15, my periods were always normal on it and regular, for the past year and a half my periods have gotten wierd, much lighter, some lasting barely a day, but last month I missed it completely, I had all the signs I was going to have it, cramps, sore breasts, but it didn't come, I am now so worried about it and the possibility of being pregnant, I have took all my pills correctly and had no stomach upsets or antibiotics.

I am terrified I miss it again in 2 weeks!

Cramps and sore breasts can also be a symptom of pregnancy sorry to say. Sometimes stress will delay it. Since they were acting weirder and weirder this could be just another odd thing. A friend of mine will skip a month completey every 4 months now. Perhaps ask your doctor, but don't stress about it, it could make it worse.

I know, I do tend to worry, if they were pregnancy cramps and sore breasts they wouldn't have gone away though, would they, my sore breasts stopped hurting on the exact day they always do and I only had the cramps 2 days!!

Last month I was having the same problem actually and I was beginning to worry myself, but once I relaxed I went out and had fun and then everything went back to normal. Mind you when my period started the cramps were horrid because I barely had them at all prior, and I usually do.
