Question
I am a week into my 3rd month of birth control and I still haven't started my period for the end of the 2nd month. During the 2nd month I did have breakthrough bleeding close to the middle of the pack. I have taken a couple pregnancy tests and they all came back negative. I'm just wondering what could be the problem and if i'm going to start my period anytime soon?
Hi Liz,
Thanks for your question. Have you started your period since you posted your question to me? Please let me know. You can email me privately at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more.
Sometimes when you are on birth control, the hormones can cause your period to be irregular. I don't recommend any kind of hormonal birth control because of risks and side effects.
If you do want another pregnancy test, you can get a free one at a local pregnancy center. The website to find a local center is http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. Or try http://www.heartbeatservices.org and click on the globe in the upper right hand corner.
Please let me know what happens.
