Period gone rogue?

Kristina

Hi ladies, I need some advice (sorry for the long read 😅)

So background: I've been taking a very low dose birth control pill for several months and it's been great in terms of control. My period always starts within 10 - 24 hours of being on the placebo pills.

On the 15th day of this cycle I started bleeding as though I was getting my period so I assume I probably didn't digest my pill properly the day before, not too big of a worry. At first I thought I would just continue my cycle as planned so I took a pill the next day but afterwards I decided I might as well let my period come and start fresh so I stopped taking the active pills (I've done this a couple times before with no issues).

Now here's the problem, it's been 3 days and my period has yet to start which is VERY unusual. I'm hoping my body just ovulated and started making it's own hormones which is why it doesn't care whether I take hormones or not (...as oppose to being pregnant 😱).

Whatever the reason, the question now is: what do I do? Because I'm paranoid I tried inducing my period using the vitamin C method which almost worked (started seeing some blood) but it hurts my digestive system too much so I don't really want to continue that.. Are there other methods anyone would recommend? Should I just continue taking my pills again? Or should I just wait it out? Has this happened to anyone else before? Any advice and/or links to references would be great! Thank you in advance! :)

Note: I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet because it's probably too early to get any accurate results right now
