The pill and missed period

[Stucki]

Hello, I'm currently on the pill, on my sugar tablets and have not got my period yet. I am also on antidepressants. I have taken three preg tests all were negative. Would these be correct? Could there be any other reason why my period did not come during the sugar pills?? I just want to rule out pregnancy

Thank u it makes me a little less worried when I know others have trouble too :) I'll wait a week n test again. I told my doctor I was on the pill when I got the meds

The antidepressants may be throwing off the cycle of your Birth Control pills. Many pills and tablets prescribed by doctors may point out that it may throw off your Birth Control Pills and caution you to practice safe sex while on other medicines besides Birth Control.

When I was on the pill my periods seemed to sometimes not even come at all.  Sometimes I would be light and sometimes I wouldn't have one at all.  I would highly doubt your pregnant since you took 3 tests and all are neg.  If I were in your shoes I would wait another week and take one more just to be sure then head to the doctor to see if you should change your birth control.

Thank u. I have already taken 3 tests and all neg so not real sure what else to do. Someone did tell me though that your period can lighten or not come at all on pill sometimes cause it doesn't need to shed. I dunno really

Many birth control pills can cause your periods to lighten over time. Also other factors can make periods irregular, stress, gaining/losing weight etc.  The best way to rule out pregnancy is to simply take a pregnancy test.  If it turns out negative, and you still don't end up getting your period within two weeks, take another test.  After that you'll need to make a Dr's appt... either because you are in fact pregnant, or, because they may need to do some more testing to figure out why you're missing your period.  Just remember though, if you're not ready for a baby, there will surely be a loving family who is out there hoping that you will bless them with a baby that they cannot have on their own through adoption.  Good Luck! :)
