Missed Period/ Took Pill 30 Minutes Late

Updated

I've been on Sprintec for like 7 months, I've always had a period and I always take my pills. I normally take my pill at 4:00 in the afternoon but one day me and my husband were at the grocery store and I ended up taking it 30 minutes late. I am on the placebo pills now and I start taking them on Mondays, it is now saturday and I still haven't had a period yet. Normally I start Thursday night or Friday morning. Should I be worried about it?

Hello, Candace! How are you?

It can be normal to skip periods, when taking oral contraceptives. Some women stop having them altogether, so unless your doctor feels there is some reason to be concerned, there's nothing to worry about.

The FDA lists the other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and PMS like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?

So taking my pill 30 minutes late shouldn't matter? I've taken my pills on time and never missed one but just happened to take it 30 minutes late that day. It just kind of freaks me out because I always take it on time and then the day I take it late, I skipped a period.

Well started my period this morning. So if you take your pill thirty minutes late one day, you may skip a period that month only because your body is used to a schedule on this pill. Don't worry, you will have a period the month after.
