For those of you on the pill, does AF come the same day all the time? Mine used to come on Tuesdays religiously. (I've been on the pill for over 10 years.) A few months ago it started coming on Wednesday and the past 2 months it's come on Thursday. I HATE THIS. Has this happened to you?

Re: BC/AF question?
I've been on it for about 5 years, and it would always come on Wednesday. Just in the past year or so, I've noticed that it tends to be Thursdays now... almost a full day later. No idea why!

That's happened to me recently within the past year. It mostly comes on wed. but a couple of times it's come on a Tues. or Thurs. Before it used to religiously come on a Wed.

Re: BC/AF question?
I haven't been on BC very long - only about 6 months or so. But it was usually pretty consistent. I started the white pill always on a Wednesday, but AF would never come until Saturday. Very rarely would it come on a different day (but always between Wed-Sat, never after).
I miss that. I'm off of it right now (have been for a little over a month) and AF is now out of control. lol. I need the consistency! I can't wait to get back on!

When I was on BC it was very religious, always on Monday. The only time it would be off was when I messed up and forgot (ooops).

I'm the same way. Right now while off of BC it stays for the full 7 day week. HORRIBLE!!! I loved it when it would only last 3 days. It's a pain to have it so long.

No. Sometimes mine doesn't even come, but I get period-like symptoms, like cramping. Once I went 7 months with NOTHING.

Re: BC/AF question?
My last pill ends on a Saturday and I ALWAYS get my period on the following Tuesday sometime. If I choose to end my pill on the Friday and skip the Saturday pill (which I do sometimes if I need to get AF a day earlier or something...) I always get it on the Monday. I've been pretty regular.

When I was on the pill I always got it on Wednesday afternoon. Then I switched to Nuvaring and now I usually get it on Friday morning. I always worry on the Thursday that I'm pregnant lol because it used to be like clockwork. Then the next day all is good.

This is how I have been for years. I start my packs on Sunday and it ends on a Saturday then I would get it on Tuesday. I very rarely forget and take it the same time everyday. I ended my last pack on Saturday and I got it this morning
What makes me even more aggravated is my friend is coming up for the weekend and we are going to BBQ in the yard and drink and I know I'll have too many bathroom breaks

Re: BC/AF question?
not really. I may get it and sometime it may be a lot (sorry if its gross) and sometimes barely anything. Sometimes its during the placebo pills and sometimes during the white pills.

Re: BC/AF question?
Yes I noticed it more and more the last few months. Mine usually came Tuesday afternoon and then I started taking the pill at night so it would come Tuesday night maybe Wednesday morning -- this month I came late late last night.
I really think stress has something to do with it.
