Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. My boyfriend and I always use condoms when we have sex, and I always take my birth control at the exact same time every day. My period is always extremely regular (it always starts in the early morning on Saturday of the placebo pill week), but this month it didn't start on time. I felt like it was going to start (PMS-type of aches), but nothing happened. I noticed a tiny bit of pinkish blood today (not enough to even wear a pad, though). I don't know if it's my period and it's just extremely light - I've never had one like this - or what. I recently finished final exams, and I just had an OB/GYN appointment a few days ago (just a yearly check-up); do you know if stress over tests or the appointment could have made my period this light, or do you think it's something else? I'm worried because I don't know what is going on, and I'm afraid the worrying might be making it worse.
