Stress = late periods?
i was under a lot of stress this month. im on ortho tricyclin-lo and i never miss a day, always on time. but this month was a wreck for me.. stress wise and then i got the flu. and i was seriously dehydrated.. and im on my placebo pills now.. and its wednesday.. and im gettin kinda worried my periods not showing up.. ive been cramping and feeling like its gonna start so im keeping my fingers crossed. i get so paranoid with taking the pill i wish it would stop. but im so good about taking it and protecting myself. (been on it for 11 months) yet the first 6 were perfect on time periods. and then they were a day late, or a day early, and i could never keep track, as long as i got them. but it scares me they arent regular. is that normal? or does it go along with how much stress you have in your life?

im not on any type of antibotic, and i take only my pill on time everyday. ive never missed. i do not want to get pregnant, and i take the proper percautions to do so. i was just curious cuz i usually get my period when im on my placebo pills, their called %26quot;Reminder pills%26quot; but one time i had my period a week early. im definately not stressed anymore, and i do have the cramps like i know its there, im just waiting patiently for it to start. thanks for the answers ladies i appreciate it so much!
Yes, stress can make periods late. A while back I was stressed about so much stuff. I had strep and mono and on top of that I was worrying about which college to choose and my period was about 2 weeks late. I%26#039;m on birth control too. The more I kept stressing about not having my period, the longer it was until I started. Don%26#039;t worry.. It%26#039;s probably not anything abnormal. Good Luck!
