24 day pills.

I'm new here. I've had an account for awhile, and I figure this would be a good time for a first post!

Okay. I have been on the pill for almost 2 years. I just recently (this last cycle) switched to a 24 day pill, instead of the usual 21 day pill.

On my 21 day pill, my active pills end on Wednesday. I start my period on friday or Saturday. My active pills now stop on Saturday.. I haven't started my period yet, and it's Tuesday.

Anyone else experience a delayed period due to being on the active pills a few days longer? I don't think I have anything to worry about, I am just checking to see if anyone else has experienced the same issues.

Thanks!

Well, I haven't been on the pill in years, but any time you change over to a different pill, there's going to be a period of adjustment for your body. Just be patient and give it time. It'll all drift back to normal soon.

The thing is, it's the same exact pill I was on before. The Gynecologist told me to get an extra pack and just take three more each month.

*edit*

I'm just paranoid, I'm never late.

You're still going to have to allow your body to readjust. It's still something a little different, and it's going to take some time to adjust. And feeling paranoid...well, the paranoia can add that to the being late. Try to relax and just go with the flow. {)
