How many days does it usually take for you to get your period after you take your last pill in the pack? I've been on the pill for over six months, and I took my last pill last Saturday (next pack starts this Sunday) and still no period. I've never had this problem before, it usually starts about three days after the last pill.

And no, this isn't another "COULD I BE PREGNANT?!" question. ha!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Hmm... we only had sex one time during this pack of pills, but that's all it takes. I'm not too concerned, just think I should have it by now... weird!!

Not to be an alarmist but there was a recent recall on BC pills. They rotated the package so the pills were in the wrong section so the placibo pills were in an active section and active pills in the placibo sections. Have you checked to see if the ones you were taking were among the effected ones?

I have had irrecgular periods since I was a teenager and birth control actually regulated them. I don't want to be the worst case scenario person but I found out that I had endometriosis so you very well could have a blockage somewhere. I would not be too concerned but maybe bring it up at your next gyn. appt.

My periods used to be like clockwork on the pill and as i get older the weirder they get. sometimes I will start the day before im supposed to start my new pack. I never start before the 4th day of the placebo pill though. They are getting a lot lighter and a few months ago I just never had one. I freaked out and after a few negative tests i just let it go. i was scheduled for my annual that month anyway so i talked to the dr and he said that it could happen for them to get lighter or go away. who knows.

I am pretty regular, and get one month of being late randomly. Your body could be reacting to your stress level or some other thing like that.
