-- Posted by Anonymous at 5:26 pm on Dec. 8, 2008 I know guys hate reading posts about periods, so stop now if you don't want to hear it. Ok, so I've been using birth control for two months, so i've gone through two packs of pills. This week is the "placebo" week, where I should be having my period. Well, last month, my period started right after I stopped taking the hormone pills, so I think this is how it's always going to be that way- since its the bill and it is regulating me. My issue is this: Its been about 3 days since I stopped taking the hormone pills, so my period should have started. I'm a virgin and only take the pill for regulation purposes, so obviously no baby. But is stress enough to override the pill? I didn't get a period before the pill when I was stressed, so could my stress be canceling out the hormones? I know thats complicated, but has any one experienced stress stopping a period while they were on the pill? Thanks. -- Posted by OodleNoodle at 5:27 pm on Dec. 8, 2008 No, I didn't. Mine were like clockwork when I was on the pill. I think you should ask your doctor. Even a pharmacist could help. -- Posted by Anonymous at 2:47 am on Dec. 9, 2008 Quote: from OodleNoodle at 5:27 pm on Dec. 8, 2008 No, I didn't.

I was worried for a bit, but I think it was just stress, or this is my normal. Who knows, right? -- Posted by hellojamielee at 3:54 am on Dec. 9, 2008 i usually give it three or so days when im on the placebo tablets. -- Posted by OodleNoodle at 2:33 pm on Dec. 9, 2008 Quote: from Anonymous at 2:47 am on Dec. 9, 2008 Quote: from OodleNoodle at 5:27 pm on Dec. 8, 2008 No, I didn't.
