I've been on the pill since I was 16. A small break off the pill when I was 17.. about three months or so. Then right back on the pill. I'm 20 now and I have taking my pill down to a science. Alarm goes off, take pill, go back to life, and if my alarm doesn't go off.. at 11pm I KNOW I'm forgetting to do something. I have NEVER missed a pill. The latest I have taken one was 4 hours later (I was asleep dammit!) otherwise the latest I have been is 20 minutes when I come to taking them.

I've skipped a couple periods here and there, just one for a certain special day or a trip to the beach, and my next period would come back just fine.
However, I skipped two in a row, which I've NEVER done before.
About 2 weeks ago I noticed that I had Linea nigra on my tummy.. no idea how long it was there for.. but I noticed it and started to freak out a little! Decided instead of skipping my period coming up I'd get it just to be safe.
I finished taking my pills on Sunday night. I usually bleed on Wednesday. I used to bleed Wednesday morning, but lately it has been happening later and later in the day. My last period started just before I was going to bed!
Well it's 8:15am on Thursday morning and.. I'm not bleeding. sad

Can skipping periods with the pill cause them to be late when you do decide to get one?

Hmm, I'm not sure, but I imagine it's possible. I mean, periods can get wonky pretty much any time you tweak the hormones that your body gets. And worrying about it can make it even wonkier! But you can take a pregnancy test or call your doctor to be sure.

Thanks for the response! n_n

Got it about an hour ago. >_<
Totally happy about that!~

I was planning on waiting until Sunday to take a test if it still didn't come since I'd be starting my new pack of pills on Monday so I didn't want to totally screw up my cycle with the pills if I got a negative test!

Gah, pills! Making me worry and junk.. you so silly!~ n_n
