Common Questions and Answers about Missed period on birth control stress

period

Avatar m tn So I've been on birth control for about 3 or so months. I take the pill on a regular basis(sometimes a few hours early or late) And I honestly have a missed a couple but I always take them the next day, I am sexually active but he has been wearing a condom. I've never been late since I've been on birth control. Is there any way im pregnant, or am I late?
Avatar f tn did not nut in me. If i was on my birth control, I would normally get my period on January 26th but I skipped my period for this month. I've been getting occasional cramps and this weird thick white to yellowish discharge falls into the toilet when I urinate. (No itching or burning) I've also just started working out 3 times a week and have been under a little stress with school and moving into a new area.
Avatar m tn Stress can cause missed periods. Other causes can be from medications, eating disorders, illness, weight loss/weight gain, drugs, birth control, and issues with your ovaries such as polycystic ovarian syndrome. Three periods is a lot to miss. You should make an appointment with a gynecologist for a check-up, pap smear, and pelvic exam. It could be something as simple as stress, but it could also be something very serious with your ovaries as well.
Avatar f tn i did miss a day on the 22nd, but took it with my next day dose. Then i missed it again on the 24th and took that pill with my next day dose as well...was that wrong? I was on Lo estrin and got pregnant on it after 3 months. Im trying not to stress out about it because i just bumped up my activity level to working out 5-6 times a week! Anywho im thinking of going on the Implanon, does anyone know if its good?
Avatar f tn There's always a small risk of getting pregnant having unprotected sex while on birth control, and even more of a risk if your partner ejaculates inside of you. Putting this small risk aside to answer your question -- you will not get pregnant during the placebo pills if you have been taking your birth control continuously the entire month. There is a chance of pregnancy if you miss any of the white pills. You should take the one you missed with your second pill as soon as possible.
Avatar n tn My girlfriend had been on birth control for about two years. She always had her period on a saturday. Always. She had to stop taking the pills for a month (her prescription was messed up), but once she got her pills back, she didn't wait for her period to start before starting the pills. So my question is, would it be normal for her period to start on a saturday still? Because the period after she started the pills again started on a saturday and lasted for nine days.
1181036 tn?1367368640 ve originally started the new pack (sorry if confusing). To sum it up I went about 4 days with no birth control until I started the new pack on Sunday, only problem is I forgot to run to the Pharmacy to pick it up so didn't take it til Monday night (and late at that). Did good for rest of week until Saturday I missed because out w/family and pills at home (stupid, I know). So I was about 4 days late starting and missed 2 pills in 1st active week.
Avatar f tn however you title acts like you are late on your birth control....if thats the case....missing a few of your pills will effect your period if you werent late on your pills...then it could be your birth control pills that are effecting your period...it can make your period slightly late. (your not even that late at all) or the stress im guessing you took pregnancy test because you have been having unprotected sex only relying on your pills...

Avatar n tn The weekend of Sept 13th we were having sex and the condom did break and he did come inside, but I was taking my birth control religiously. In october my period came right on time and lasted the typical amount of time, so I ruled that time in Sept out because my period in october was fine. Now it is monday and I was supposed to start on Friday or Saturday and still haven't gotten it. I have always been very regular, but never been this stressed.
Avatar f tn I don't trust birth control I was on it for 5 months and didn't miss once and I got pregnant I'm now 21 weeks good luck
Avatar f tn t taking birth control and arent sexually active the only other thing I can think of would be stress diet change or exercise change. If you havent made any drastic changes like that then I would schedule an appointment with your doctor cause then I have no idea. Sorry if I couldnt help.
Avatar n tn yea i am but im on birth control already
467941 tn?1210971565 Are you taking depo or anything like that? Some hormone based contraceptives can cause amenorrhea. If not and if you miss 3 periods you should go back to the doctor to have a workup for secondary amenorrhea. That involves hormone tests and possibly doing a progesterone challenge (taking progesterone pills for 10 days to see if you have a period) and an estrogen-progesterone challenge (taking birth control pills to see if you have a period).
Avatar f tn ( i have to wait more then 10 days as a started my sugar tablets the day i finished the antibiotics). i have only been on birth control for about 2 months. i took my first sugar tablet on friday, last time i got my period on the 3rd day of sugar tablets, it is now the 5th and i havent gotten it. I have only had sex twice after the antibiotics, once using the morning after pill and once using a condom.
Avatar n tn stress or anxiety can have an effect on menstrual cycles, extreme changes in diet and exercise, medication can delay periods, birth control,and any recent illness, etc... Missing one period or having a late period isn't abnormal, but if you still feel uneasy about it, you can always consult your doctor for more advice.
Avatar f tn I'm on birth control and I started my period almost a week early, is this normal? I'm sexually active & I've been on birth control for about a year now and this has never happened.
Avatar n tn okay this is the deal. i've been on birth control for almost two months. i've taken the pill every single day, but some days have been a little later than other maybe 2-3 hours late because i forget. i was supposed to start my period today 3/20/12 but i didn't. i had sex on friday 3/18/12 but we didn't use a condom. he pulled out any everything. but is there a chance i could be pregnant this quickly ? or is it because my body isn't regulated to the pills yet.
Avatar f tn I have missed 2 periods (while on birth control) due to stress. That could definitly be the cause. A doctor can order a blood test with show for sure whether your pregnant or not.
Avatar n tn I missed my pill on the 20th of December n had sex on the 21st n took the pill on the same day but I missed n took some late before as well and yes my nipples hurt
Avatar n tn hi I'm 17 and I just started having intercourse but I've been very safe about it. Now I missed my period it's been seven days and I'm really stressing about it. I can't talk to my parents about this can someone please tell me what might be going on.
Avatar n tn I went out of town for a couple of days and forgot to pack my birth control pills (YAZ). I missed two pills in week three. I followed the directions and continued to take active pills through the following Sunday and then started a new pack. I did not get my period however, the pill directions say this is to be expected. Can anybody explain what causes the missed period?
