I didn't have sex during this time so i wasn't worried. but as soon as i got back to school i started my pill again and i have had sex with my boyfriend since then. my pill is active after 7 days. but basically i should have gotten my period a week ago. but would s
This got cut off so I hope I didn’t miss any information.
First: just breathe and try to relax. A missed period could be due to a number of reasons including emotional stress or fluctuations in hormones. Depending on one’s age, late or missed periods can be common for some people until their bodies learn to balance out their hormones. That being said, if you did not use protection during sex and had sex within the week that you started taking the pills again, there is a chance that you may be pregnant. To be sure, you could purchase a home pregnancy test from a drugstore or get one from your healthcare provider. It’s been a week since your missed period so it would be an appropriate time to take a test and get an accurate result.
I’m wishing you all the best. Good luck!
