late period

[yankeechic87.livejournal.com]

ok so my last period was in the beginning of june.
in the beginning of july i had sex and the condom fell off. the next day i took Plan B and the day after that as instructed by planned parenthood i began birth control pills (estrostep) which obviously made me skip my july period.

the problem is that tomorrow is my last day of placebo pills and i have not gotten my period this week like i was supposed to. last week i had some spotting and brown discharge. i took a pregnancy test on monday which came back negative.

my question is...should i start my next pack of birth control on friday even though i did not get my period? i have been really stressed and this was my first time ever taking birth control so i dont know if that has caused my missed period.

im really scared that im pregnant but i want to stop freaking out so much. i just want to know if it is safe for me to start my next pack without having gotten my period this month.

I can't really give you any advice on your question, but I've also been given estrostep as birth control I haven't tried it yet since I've read about a lot of unhappy reviews on it. How has estropstep been for you so far? I haven't wanted to use it because of the side effects some people have had =X

i actually havent had any side effects. my best friend was on it too and she hated it, but i havent had any problems so far. give it a try..u can always switch! good luck!

Just so you know... and this is one of our most common questions... other women's experiences will not predict how your body will react.

All HBC can produce all side-effects in some women, and not in others. There's no way to know how your body will react other than to try it (preferably for at least three months) and see if it works for you.

Additionally, it's good to bear in mind that people often speak up more and louder when they've had a negative experience than a positive one... so even the "reviews" you may hear are not going to be a representative sample.

If you want to try Estrostep, give it a whirl! It may be great for your body. Or it may not... but no amount of reviews can tell you what to expect in terms of how you will react.
