December 1st, 2005
Later today I will take the 4th inactive pill of my pack and I have still not gotten my period. (the latest i've ever gotten my period was on the 3rd day of inactives) i'm on the 2nd pack of a new brand of pills (aviane). With the first month of inactive pills, I only had very light spotting for 2 days, but didn't have sex that month so pregancy wasn't an issue. Also, i'd say for the past 8 months or so my periods have become extremely light.

This is the 4th brand of bc pills i've been on in 3 years - the last one I was on I hated and stopped taking 2 weeks into the pack (per my doctor). I started aviane a week later, so I figured that was the reason for the weird period last month. Should I worry this month, or is my body still adjusting? I did have sex but used a condom as well.

Well, I think your body is just adjusting. I am on my 3rd month of inactive pills (ortho tri cyclen lo). The first month I started my period on the 1st inactive pill, but the second month I didn't get it until the 3rd, and again this month I didn't get it until the 3rd. But then my period lasts an entire week, even after I start my active pills. So, I think your body just has to adjust to your new pill. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

No period on the 4th placebo pill, and light spotting
Today was my 4th placebo pill day, and I started with a very light spotting. However, we did have unprotected sex two days ago. I am hoping this is the start of my period as we are not ready to start a family. But I havent been taking the pill at the same time every day, I have just been too busy. Does that mean there is a possibility that I can get pregnant even while taking the pill?

birth control inactive and no period?
I'm on low ogesrel 28, and I'M ON the last inactive pill but no period. I have stomach pains and can't go to the bathroom without experiencing extreme pain. My stomach makes noises after eating, lately I can't sit or walk when the pain starts around my anus area and my stomach. I think I have hemorrhoids but I don't understand the lateness of my period. I need a profesional advise.
