Late Period While On Birth Control? Posted: 11-23-05 12:01pm
Hi everyone.
I've been on ortho lo for about six months
and I always get my period either on the
4th or 5th inactive (green) pill but I
always get cramps about a week before but
this week i'm supposed to take my 4th pill
tonight but I haven't gotten any cramps at
all and i'm afraid that I won't get my
period. Should I worry?

Not to Worry Posted: 11-23-05 23:30pm
I've been on yasmin for about 4 years.
I've had early and late periods while on
birth control. I don't think either of
you should worry. For about the last 3-4
months, my periods have been either late
or early without messing up pills and
right before them I didn't feel any pms
symptoms at all. I'm healthy, not
pregnant, and don't mess up my pills.
Sometimes, it just happens. I've been 4
days early and 3-4 days late before. If
you go a week without a period, I would
start to worry, but not right now. I
think you both are fine. Hope this helps
a little!
Jess

I have noticed that for some women, the
longer they take the pill, the more
inactive pills they may take before they
get a period. This is not "common" per
say, but it does happen. An early
pregnany test could be taken if you like.
