Why is my period late when I haven't been sexually active?
I'm on birth control (Junel Fe 120). The last time I had sexual intercourse was July 11. I had to stop taking birth control around July 7 because I finished a pack, but couldn't get a new pack due to a backup on my insurance. I was off the pill for a month. I had 2 cycles since then. One very heavy like it was before I got on the pill, then one light because I started taking the pill again. I'm 8 days late on my period this month and I don't know why. I've been taking my pills regularly, however I stopped on September 24, due to another holdup at my insurance office, and I finished the pack but couldn't get a new one. I just want to gain answers as to why my period is late, and if I should be worried I'll be 19 in about 2 weeks.
Whenever you start and stop in such a short timeframe, it's likely to have an impact on your cycles. Don't forget that the pill contains fake hormones and messing with hormone levels will always cause ask types of disruptions in the menstrual cycle. Just give your body some time to adjust to bring on the pill again and try to be more consistent with staying on or so taking it if you're not going to be using it.
