LATE PERIOD

Cali

Ok so now that I have everyone’s attention, my period is a day late from what it normally is. I am on the pill and normally on my 7 day break (iron pills in the package), my period starts on Tuesday. Today is Wednesday, and I haven’t gotten it yet. I have had cramps, bloating, and acne, which are my normal signs. I have had sex 1-2 times with this pack, but used a condom both times along with not missing a pill. Here are some situational things in my life that I think could contribute to this:

- just started college as a freshman, with 18 credit hours this semester

- along with starting college, started collegiate cross country this month also, which has increased my training volume

- have been on birth control over a year

- haven’t been sleeping right

- periods are normally light and 2-4 days each month

- I normally don’t take the iron pills at the end of the pack but I decided that I should start because my doctor has recommend it

Sorry for the long post, I think I’m looking for some advice and just peace of mind.
