okay, first things first: i apologise for causing all the trouble in the first post i made to this community.

ive got another possible crisis. i havent had a period since april 20th. thats like 50-some odd days. the thing is, ive only recently started to chart my period and figure out how many days in-between, so i really dont know whats exactly normal for me. in addition, ive been stressed out, and ive also started a diet in the past couple of months, and i know those can affect the hormonal cycle and stuff. is this cause for concern?
im just stressing about it because i have to go see my boyfriend in 28 days, (long distance ltmr, if you wondered), and i have to take birth control (i got the pills) the day of my period and stuff..but what if it doesnt come!?!?!?!
i asked if i could just take the bc without waiting for it in the birth control community and i got two different answers, so i really dunno. id want to play it safe, but i ... im just worried its not going to come. this broad i know was like retaining her period or something for two months, so i guess thats a possibility (???) but um, its not gonna help with the bc stuff.
i only see my boyfriend once a year.
the whole purpose of bcp was for that visit.
condoms wont work for us. (Please dont ask.)
o, and theres no way i could be pregnant. heh.

help? =\
i guess theres not much i can do except wait...but im scared.


{edit: im more worried about whether or not theres something wrong with me, cause i havent gotten my period in so long =\ than the bcp stuff. im going to find out if i can just take it without waiting for my period, but thats a whole other matter. im sorry for the confusion, and thank you to those who replied and told me to check on the bcp stuff.}

i would contact the clinic/doctor who gave you the prescription. Explain your situation and say, since you are using BCP to regulate your periods AND for BC, you would like to know if it would be bad for you if you started next sunday (or whenever). They should be able to let you know the score on the situation.

Good luck (and have fun!!!)

blessings...

Hi, I was one of the people who responded to you in the other community. You hadn't said in that exactly how long it would be before you see your partner - and that does make a difference. You'll need to check the full prescribing information for you brand of pill, and/or check with the person who wrote you the prescription, but in most cases, that would be a long enough time for it to be effective. Please don't guess though, check and be sure - and if it isn't long enough - use an alternate method. The male condom would be prefered, but if that really isn't an option, you could try the female condom or a spermicide.
