She didn't direct me to take it in any way- she just said I should continue taking this months pills from the new package. And at the time it had been 8 days, she said it could just be my body getting used to the pills

So I visited the doctor, she gave me a new pill pack and told me to start where I left off in my expired pack. This pack finishes in 2 days and I am still bleeding :? It's been 12 days and I don't know if I should just stop after the pack is done or continue? Also should I be concerned that the blee...

The bleeding hasn't stopped, it's been 6 days and I've been having cramps everyday as well. If this is breakthrough bleeding from starting bc pills, is it normal for it to go on this long? I'm seeing my doctor this Friday, and I've continued to take the pills because I didn't want my cycle to get wa...

Thank you, I'll be sure to do that! & No, this was entirely a mess up on my part, I got these pills as "testers" about a year ago - I expressed to my doctor that I was afraid of the side effects that would come with the pills & she gave these ones to me to try out. I didn't want to...

I started taking oral contraception last month, and it seemed to work because my period was shorter, lighter and happened during the time when I took inactive pills. However, today (halfway into the second pack) I realized that the pills expired 4 months ago :oops: I also started spotting yesterday,...

Unfortunately I threw away the box, but the brands website says from the day you expect your period. In that case it doesn't matter that it hasn't been 14 days since the incident, right? (It's been 13)

I've looked at your pregnancy test article and that says I would need to wait at least 14 days before testing, but "Pregnancy Scared" said I could wait 14 days or until my period was late, whatever came first. Can someone please clarify?

The test was negative, if I ovulated late or something would this still be accurate?

Hello! I've had late periods before but this seems different. Usually I get symptoms like swollen/ sore breasts 1-2 weeks before my period and mild cramping a few days before - this month, 1-2 weeks before my period, nothing. (Over the past 3 months I've had an average 30 day cycle) its now day 36 a...

she recommended counselling and I plan to go as soon as I m off the waiting list. She also gave me a 3 month sample of birth control pills to make my cycle more regular, I got my period today and I know I can start today but I am confused about this particular brand. Online it says most packs of BC ...

For the past few months I've been having anxiety about my health so when something irregular - like a missing period - happens I look for reasoning behind it. For 2 months I've been scared I have some kind of rare cancer because of irregular marks on my fingernails that point to it being either canc...

Okay that sounds good, I don't have an appointment yet because there's a waiting list. I don't know how to explain my worry to my mother because she doesn't know I'm sexually active and I 100% cannot tell her so I often feel alone during these scares. She also thinks the solution to my worry is to &...

Hello I have made it through the night without dying and the test is negative, anything I can try to bring on my period since its now 2 days later than the latest it's ever been?

I'm really anxious its going to be hard to wait until tomorrow morning. I'm just trying to remind myself I haven't had a real risk to begin with.

I bought a pack of 2 tests. Tomorrow is the 4th day after the latest I expected my period & 17 days after the act in question, will it be accurate?

Thank you! I've been having symptoms like cramps and tender/ swollen breasts to is it safe to assume my period is on its way? These are the PMS symptoms I usually get

Thanks for that! Hopefully I get my period so I can let this go and work on my anxiety without something this serious consuming my thoughts. But do you know if changing my sleeping and eating schedule could have delayed my period? And they say to challenge the negative thoughts and remind myself the...

The box doesn't say when to start, does that mean I can start it whenever? It just counts days- I'm 17 and I've heard its normal for teens to have shifts in their cycles - other than sleep/ eating happening at different times I don't know what else could have caused me to be late. I haven't been str...

I guess my period is irregular, in the past 6 months or so my cycle has been around 28-37 days.it was only 28 days once and other than that always landed from around 33-36. It is now day 38 of my cycle and I'm wondering if I'm late because according to my period tracker my average is 32 days. Person...

I guess I was being a bit nosy and went through some of my boyfriends messages with one of his friends. I wasn't suspicious or looking for anything I was just bored and I read a message from him to his friend saying he thinks he's in love with his co worker, that's probably an over exaggeration beca...

I went to see a counsellor during the last scare and it helped me calm down so I think I'm going to check in again thanks for your help

I had a scare that lasted from early may - late June because we had intercourse so maybe there's some left over feelings from that?

Hi, Scarleteen! my boyfriend and I recently had dry-sex, or dry humping and both of us had at least underwear/boxers on. From reading the other forums and articles I know there was no risk there - thank you for being so informative and easing my mind. For the first 1-2 years I was fine with the sexu...

can my period still come without me having PMS?
and I tried but it doesn't seem to work I always feel stressed, maybe the ones I tried just weren't a good fit

I don't have a therapist yet, I've been seeing a councilor at school and both she and my doctor have given me some referrals to councilors who specialize in dealing with teens, I'm planning to go see one on Thursday
