Oh boy...I've taken pill for years on and off. Have a beautiful 3 year old daughter and a 1 year old son. Well been going through some issues with hubby past 3 months. We've been together 12 years married 5. Pills have always worked for us. Hubby also works very well.
H told me Thursday of last week he wanted to seperate. I had only 4 pills left (Taken 17) Usually when I stop taking pill Sunday, I start that next Wednesday. WELL...haven't started!

Was just wondering if all the stress could be making my body out of wack.

I can't imagine why God with bless us with a child when H doesn't love or want me anymore.
Oh man...this would be added stress that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

If anyone is there to add some calming words I could sure use it. Just a 29 year old mother of two stressing.

HI there! I am from Texas also. Yes, stress CAN cause your period to be late...Why dont you take a PG test? Things always happen for a reason, I truly believe that. If you are pregnant, then God has a plan for this child and maybe for you and your H. And if you are PG, please take care of yourself and your babies!

Thanks for responding, all of you. I know there is abortion. I don't even want to think about that. It's 3:45 and I've still not started. Money is already tight with just two kids. I can't even imagine 3. My H doesn't want anymore kids even if we were happily married. I don't know that I could abort it or even put it up for adoption. I have two beautiful kiddo's and to know that is what I'd be aborting, it would kill me. Because that would be what my H wanted. I would forever hold him responsible for my guilt if I did that and he would resent me for going ahead and having it. Let's just say he is in a very selfish state of mind right now.

Going and taking the pregnancy test seems like the simple thing to do. I didn't want to spend the money if I didn't have to, but looks like I'm gonna just need to do it so I can relax at least about that.

Please pray for me. I'd rather only be a mother twice. : )

Well it's 1 day past when I was suppose to start, but 7 days past when I stopped taking the pill. No period yet, but pregnancy test last night was negative. <sigh>

I usually always start like clockwork and have most of the times I can remember back. I have of course NEVER gone through something like this though with my marriage.

Hi there from a fellow Texan. I missed a period when my D was a little less than a year old while on BC and I wasn't pregnant. When I called my doctor they acted like it was no big deal, I was freaking out! I didn't want to take on another pregnancy at the time.

So, it could very well be stress. And, those pregnancy tests are pretty accurate these days. They can detect pregnancy pretty early on. Try not to worry about it. I know that's easier said than done. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
