Late Period Symptoms

I took plan b on the 7th and for a whole week I experienced extreme nausea and was really light headed, feeling pressure. The following week the nausea went away but I still have pressure headaches, dizziness and chest pains as well. I got my period a few days ago and it was really heavy. Took a pregnancy test. Not sick. No heart problems. Could this still be from the plan b? Someone said it could be hormonal... ## It might be, those can be hormonal symptoms, as reported by the FDA. However, anytime you have chest pain, you should seek medical attention to be sure, for your own safety, since there are other issues that might cause that, such as a blood clot, or heart attack. Even though you don't have any prior heart problems, hormones can cause them, in some people. Are you on any ...

I have missed my period the last 3 months, I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative, can I start taking sprintec or do I need to go see a doctor? ## Hello, Megan! How are you? If you've not consulted your doctor about the issue, then it would be best to do so, before starting the Sprintec, to be safe. You may be experiencing a hormonal imbalance and might need a different hormonal dosage to correct the issue. The FDA lists the typical side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, PMS-like symptoms and breakthrough bleeding. Are you on any other medications? Have you ever experienced irregularities like this, before? ## I have experienced irregularities before. My mom has PCOS and believes I might have it ## And I'm not on any oth...

It's really not a big deal, it can happen sometimes, when you are taking these and is usually nothing to worry about, if you aren't experiencing other unusual symptoms and haven't missed any tablets. However, if you're concerned, please be sure to consult your health care provider. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I am on my second pack on sprintec (generic orthocyclen). I missed my first pill of the pack and when I looked online and it said it was okay to start a pack one day late and to take the first pill and throw the missed one away and that no backup contraception was needed. So I just took my pill at the normal time the next day and took the rest of the pack as normal. I had unprotected sex three days after starting the new pack and then I found more information that said I should have waited a week before having unprotected sex. My period is now later than normal, but I have had signs and symptoms of my period, but they could also be signs of pregnancy. I took a hpt today on the day I thought I would start bleeding and it was negative. My mother had a heart attack on the second week of my...

I just started sprintec today and my period is due to come on in two weeks. Will my period come a few weeks late since i will be on the second week of pills? ## Hello, Mooney! How are you? There's no way to say for sure, it depends on how your body reacts to the added hormones. It may delay your period, until the week of inactive pills, or you may get on schedule. You may also have a period both times. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, weight gain, PMS like symptoms and mood swings. Also, please remember that if you didn't start it the first or second day of your period, you will not be protected from pregnancy, until you've taken the active tablets for a full 7 days, so you'll need some backup method of contraception, until the 8th day. Is th...

I'm in my first month of Lo Loestrin Fe. I took my first pill the Sunday after my period started which was just one day after. I took 1 pill 12 hours late and the next one right on time and every time after that pretty much right on time. The websites I've read all said nothing will happen if I just took the one late. I'm on day 26 now and have been spotting for over a week but I have no idea when I'm supose to be expecting my period. ## The spotting may be your period, many oral contraceptives can cause your period to be much lighter than normal. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. However, did you have unprotected intercourse during the first week? Because, if they aren't st...

I have not got my period for 50 days. So doctor suggested to take regesterone 5mg for 5 days(morning and night) after taking for 5 days also I have not yet got my periods. Its going to be 2 months. ## Are you on birth control? are you sure you are not pregnant? Do you have a disease or disorder? Are you just starting your periods or are you near menopause? Has your doctor tested you for anything? I find it very strange he just put you on this medication to start your period without knowing why it stopped. People don't get headaches because they don't have enough aspirin in the body, too often doctors treat the symptoms without figuring out what is causing the "dis-ease" in the first place. My periods started running late, then skipped a month or two, then stopped. (I...

Has anyone been late or missed a period taking mono linyah? This is my second month on it.. I had the nexplanon since February and had it removed last month.. I have missed two days but doubled up on my doses.. ## Hello, Molly! How are you? It can be normal to skip periods, while taking oral contraceptives, according to the FDA. Some women stop having them, entirely. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. However, if you missed pills and engaged in intercourse, there is a slight risk of pregnancy. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I had a surgical abortion almost 4 weeks along and I did not start my birth control (mono linyah) until 3 weeks after the surgery. I did not have intercourse until I began taking my pills and us...

Hi - My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for months. I have never had any problems getting pregnant before but it has been really hard this time around. On July 11th my period was a day late and only lasted a day. It wasn't spotting. I was bleeding a lot. Now I am experiencing pregnancy symptoms. I am wonder if it is possible if I could be pregnant?? ## Hi, Jesa! Only a pregnancy test will let you know for sure. Some women do experience implantation bleeding, some just light spotting and others heavier, so it's hard to guess from that. Have you tried taking a test, yet? ## First off, I'm a 32 year old woman who has had 2 ectopic pregnancies in the past...one at 19 and the other at 22. After the last ectopic, the doctors told me that I have a 28% chance of getti...

Hi. I took diane 35 for irregular periods for 6 months and then stopped taking it. When i was taking the pill, my periods were regular n now I'm already 5 days later than when i was taking the pill. I am age 22 and unmarried. ## Yess same problem..10 days late ..plz help..i m freakng outtt ## That can be a normal side effect from taking/or stopping oral contraceptives, since they contain hormones. The U.S. FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. If it continues and you have reason to suspect a risk of pregnancy, then please have yourself checked. And don't be afraid to conduct your doctor, to be sure.

I started the pill 4 days after my period started. I started on a Monday. I been on it for 5 days. How long does it take to work due to the fact that I didn't take it on the first day of my period? What are my chances of getting pregnant? ## Hello, Dezi! How are you? It needs to be taken for a full 7 days, to reach its full level of effectiveness in the body, according to the FDA guidelines on oral contraceptives. So, you'd need to use some additional form of protection, until the 8th day of taking active pills, otherwise, you risk pregnancy. Typical side effects are listed as nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, weight gain and PMS like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?

I used femilon fron the 4 day of my periods. Its been a week after the 21st tablet but my periods haven't started. Why is dis happening? Can i be pregnant? ## Hello, Natasha! How are you? Has there been any change? If you started that late in your cycle, you would not have been immediately protected, so if you engaged in unprotected intercourse during the first week of taking them, there could be a risk of pregnancy. Skipping your period can also be a normal side effect, as reported by the U.S. FDA. Other typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, PMS-like symptoms and spotting. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hii..

I've been on tri sprintec for about a year now. Im on my LAST white pill today (saturday) bUT still have not had my period this week and I usually start on Wednesdays. Is that normal and should I still start my new pack tomorrow even though I haven't started my period? ## Hello, Angee! How are you? Yes, you should still start the new pack on schedule, unless you missed any pills, so there's a risk of pregnancy, or your doctor advises otherwise. Some women do skip periods, start late or stop having them entirely, while on oral contraceptives. The FDA lists other possible side effects as including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?

This month I got on minastrin 24 fe and I took it for a little while and stopped 2 days before my period because I would miss a day or two and now I'm 11 days late on my period. Should I be worried? I have had period symptoms like tender breasts, bloated, cramping, just like my normal period but I haven't started it yet. My boyfriend and I have been intimate 2 times since I stopped one with a condom and one without a condom and he didn't climax inside of me either time. I'm just worried and need answers fast. ## Hello, Teri! How are you? Has anything changed? There is a risk of pregnancy, if you missed pills and/or were intimate without protection. However, as reported by the FDA, this could also be caused by taking it for several weeks and then suddenly stopping. You ma...

I have been on this pill for 11 months now... since September 2014. My periods were irregular at first but started to become more regular. In the middle of June I missed 2 pills in a row. I took them both the next day however. I then started my period a week early right after I took those 2 pills late (I was camping with girls who were on their period, so I figured that's why I started early). Once I got off of my period, I had unprotected intercourse with my boyfriend. I have not missed a pill since those 2 in June but it is now time that I should be having my period if it is a normal 26-32 day cycle. I usually wouldn't start until the end of the month but last month I started in the middle. I am worried because I have been experiencing what could be pregnancy symptoms. I notic...
