That said, m0o indicated that this is her 3rd or 4th pack of pills. So, it's probably a good bet that this is simply some expected wonkiness towards the end of the adjustment period, when the body will start to "decide" when it wants to bleed without hormones! I agree, it caused me a little extra stress, too. Most pill instructions say that one missed period is not to be worried about unless you've not taken your pills correctly (often two or more missed in a row, nausea/vomiting without a backup method, etc). If, however, you miss the next one, too, it's time to call your doctor for advice. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
