Contraceptive pill question....?!
Question: This is a long one, brace yourselves.......
Went off the pill about six months ago, there were lots of reasons that I don't have the energy to go into....
Anyway, I'd been on it for five years before that, and after I went off it I had a period once every 2 months, but I assume that is normal if you've been on the contraceptive pill. I decided to go back on two months ago, waited for my period to come because you're supposed to take it when your period starts, and last Monday there were signs, so I started taking it.
Nothing has happened since then - no bleeding, no nothing, just cramps. Did I do the wrong thing? It's seven days later now - am I covered? And why do they tell you to start taking it on your period anyway?
Sorry for the long question....

I'm guessing you're ok. You may want to check if you are pregnant or not just to be on the safe side. Your story is one of the reasons I'm so concerned about women taking the pill. Your body is supposed to be regulating your hormones, this is how you were designed. The pill is often prescribed for regulating our cycle. When you use hormones for this, you end up with these huge Natzi hormones overthrowing and controlling your natural cycle. I
