I still have not had my February period (43 days). I turned down sex on the 4th of Feb. I was very drunk at the time and dont remember much about the night. I remember saying no. Why is my period late?

Dear Sportygal,
I love challenges :) Let me think through this one … Do you have a rough idea how long you were on Dianette? I’m surprised that your period resumed so quickly (in December); frequently if you go off birth control (assuming you were on it for a long time), it takes a little while for your body to adjust and get back to a regular schedule. But it’s so true that every girl’s body has a mind of it’s own too many times.
It’s very odd that your Feb period hasn’t come. Have you taken a pregnancy test in the past couple of days? If not, I would strongly recommend it.
Have you started a new exercise regimen or done a lot of bike riding/horseback riding/extreme sports lately? Have you been sick over the past month or gone on a diet? Have you been stressed out over something and been extremely worried? Before being on birth control medication, was your period typically on time every month?
Puzzled too,
Hannah
