Stopping Birth Control.

I'm sorry, but i've been posting all over LJ looking for answers/advice. I know everyone's body is different, but I wanted to post and maybe try and get *some* peace of mind.



I've been taking BC pills since september of 2005. That's about 2 1/2-3 years of non-stop using them. Last year, in Oct./Nov. 2007, I just decided to stop taking them. I went through a huge break-up and was just sick of taking them/paying for them/etc. So I just finished up my pack and stopped sometime around those months. I had a regular period in December, as expected. (For about 7 days starting Dec. 7th.) Now it's January 11th and my period hasn't come at all! It should have been here by Monday and I'm super stressed. I had sex ONCE (with a condom the whole time) on Dec. 29, and I can't imagine anything could have gone wrong. But, my period just is not on time. I've been sitting here stressing and crying and wondering when it's going to show up! I took two First Response pregnancy tests thursday morning and this morning (first pee) and it came back negative both times. it might still be too early to tell, since it's only been 13 days since i had sex. but i just-still can't stop worrying.

Is my period missing because my body is still out of whack from going off the pill? Then why did I have a normal/on-time period in December right after going off the pill? What makes this month different? I'm super nervous and would appreciate any input. I realized that i'm WAY too paranoid NOT to take the pill, so I ordered new packs online & will be re-starting them (when/if my period returns) and NEVER going off them again. I can't handle this kind of stress!

Thank you for reading this and any words of advice. I just don't know what's wrong with me. :-( All i want is my period to be here!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know if stress is a factor, but i was in a bad car accident near the end of december if that makes any difference. but when other stressful things have happened, like getting my teeth pulled, etc, my period was always constant.

i can't stop worrying! thank you so much for reading this and putting up with me in basically every lj comm. :(
