Aunt Flow is late

Aunt Flow is late... where the heck is she??? I am NOT TTC, I am on the pill. But normally I am only a day or two off, but four? Only reason I am worried, is because I have been on so much meds lately that makes me wonder if it messed up my period. Like voided it out or something. And my breasts have been very sore lately.... which isn't normal...

I bought 2 tests from the dollar store yesterday. And took one, it was negative. But, it was at night, not in the morning... does that matter? Does it matter if it is from the dollar store?

Just getting a little worried for obvious reasons. I want children, but just not right now... but I understand things happen. With my knee surgery my tibia bone totally won't heal for like another 4 to 6 months according to the doctor. I am just worried about gaining weight with my knee...

Re: Aunt Flow is late

  • That sucks. Sending not preggers vibes your way. I would test again in the morning since that is when the pregnancy hormone levels are supposed to be the most concentrated.

    BC can cause you to skip periods though and stress as well. 

    Good luck!

  • Are you using additional protection too?

    I'll send some non-BC vibes your way!

    I experienced the same thing last month, on BC, using condoms and had missed period.  I've never been late and been on the pill years.  I took a test and it was negative.  For whatever reason, my body decided to wait 10 days past my usual start date and then start spotting for a week.

    Best of luck!

  • I think you're probably over stressing.  Big breath! :)

    As you said, the meds can make your period late, or even skip it entirely.  Just because AF doesn't arrive, doesn't mean you ovulated.  And I think stressing about it is only going to mess your body up more, you know?  The test was negative, and you're already 4 days late, so if you were pregnant, I can't imagine that you wouldn't get a BFP (that was a poorly structured sentence, forgive me).   

    :) 

  • Having the surgery you did can eff with your cycle, with my last knee surgery I skipped and I was on the pill.

    I'm late too if it makes you feel any better... with BFN's now for a week WTF. 

    Oh, and if you want to retest do it with first morning urine which would have a higher concentration of HCG in it. 

  • I'm sure that it has to do with your body's reaction to the surgery/medication/recovery.  That's a lot for a body to go through, and we all know how stress can affect AF. Just curious though, you haven't been on any antibiotics, right?  Because that can cause BCP to not do it's job and you need to use a second form of BC then.  But as long as you aren't on an antibiotic then you're probably fine.  Hope she visits soon.

    We are only using the pill. We used to use condoms, but I would get a yeast infection almost a week after we had sex. Like repeatedly! So we stopped using condoms. 

    I hope it comes before 10 days, that would just mess with my head being late that long! Sometimes it is so annoying to have a female body, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want a penis if you paid me! BUT, I hate that our bodies are so sensitive! 

    I bought a digital test to take tomorrow morning, so I will let you guys know! Thanks so much for your help!
