I've only ever missed my pill once and that was in the first pack and I still came on so I highly doubt I'm pregnant. Is this normal it's really annoying me in case it's actually nothing to do with the pill but something different? What other causes could it be? And also the pill hasn't changed my periods at all, they are still as heavy, long and I still get slight pains, is this still normal as I've only been on it 2 months?Thanks :)

 Hi Hun,
The pill makes your body think that it is pregnant "31", all the time, 'round the clock. These symptoms can change depending on the hormone levels in the pill that you are taking, and can be adjusted. Some can make your period lighter or even quarterly, and there are lots of different opinions on the subject.
The fact is, we are experiencing more periods in a lifetime than women used to, because they didn't live as long as we do now, AND, often, they were experiencing MULTIPLE pregnancies, miscarriages, and child-births, which would means that a modern woman is going to experience far more menstrual cycles in her long life, and you are just starting yours!
SOoooo, Chart you symptoms every month. Make up little symbols, like SP for spotting, CR for cramping, MP for My Period, E for End of Period and if you know with the "pinchy" sensation that you are releasing an egg, O for ovulation. Just throw this onto your calendar and become a PARTNER with a good OB/GYN that you feel comfortable with.
Then, ASK for what it is you want and tell them what you expect and need. Lighter flow is the goal? Or less cramping? By getting a good rapport with a Gynecologist that you feel comfortable with, and giving them all your information, you should be more able to find the type of contraceptive type that works with your body. Good Luck!

It does take your body a while to get used to the pill though so you could maybe give it a bit more time to see if it eases off. When i first started on the pill I felt sick every single afternoon for the first few months but after a while it stopped, probably when my body was used to it. Hope this helps x
