Venting 5 days late

Sabrina

Guys ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜‘ this is long, but bear with me.

I haven't been on any birth control in over a month. I was on the pill but due to a surgery I had, my body doesn't absorb the pill correctly, so i went off of it. When I was on the pill, my period never came on the "week of placebo" always a week before, but consistently a month apart. Per this app, which has never failed me and always has been super accurate, I was supposed to start last Friday, 2/15. Since last monday, 2/11 I have felt like GARBAGE. Cramps, bloating, and starving. No period. Nothing. And I typically don't get cramps. At all. So I took two at home tests, one on sunday, one yesterday, both negative...

The only time i have EVER gotten cramps was early in pregnancy with my daughter. This whole episode feels eerily familiar. I emailed my PCP because ya know, Glow says after 5 days late to talk to your doctor. They called me back, put me through all the triage over the phone bs, just to tell me to retest in a week and to "know there are other kinds of birth control we can talk about". First of all, I didn't say I wanted to be on birth control, I'm just sick of feeling like shit. 5 days late when I'm usually clockwork. Do I test before the 5 days again?
