hey yall. i have never been late on my period before. i took a pregnancy test after day 2 of late period however i started a new pack of bc on sunday. my period is now 5 days late. is there a chance i wont get my period at all now? i have been super stressed out last week,changed my diet and exercising regularly could that be why im not getting my period ?

If you use your pills correctly then it doesn’t matter whether you bleed or not. It’s common not to bleed, trust your pill x

this has never happened to me before. i always get my period, so it’s hard not to be concerned. i sometimes forget to take my pill i will take it right when i remember

As long as you’ve used your pill correctly (ie taken it within your pill’s time frame and accounted for anything that could decrease the pill’s effectiveness) it doesn’t matter if you bleed or not. Missing bleeds is a normal side effect of the pill, even if you’ve never experienced it before it’s still normal.

@snowgirl623 side effects can happen at any time. I recommend using condoms if you struggle to take your pills on time.

stress can delay your period, I know it’s concerning since it’s a new side effect but you really don’t need to worry. most birth control pills instructions say that missing a bleed is nothing to worry about, but missing two in a row is when it’s worth taking a pregnancy test to be safe.
