Sorry if this is gross...I take birth control everyday at the same time and I have been taking it for a long time and I always have only had my period during the week of the "fake" pills. But today I have been bleeding. I didn't miss any pills. Could stress cause the period to come early like this? i am not supposed to have it for almost 2 weeks. I have been under considerable stress since my fiance left the family. Any other ideas why? I also have been unable to eat for about 4 days, but would that have any affect?

It sounds like stress and stress is a major factor when it comes to menses, over the summer my girlfriend was stressed out and despite her being on birth control she had a period for 3 weeks and shes not supposed to have any periods, if it persists for more than two weeks or if its more painful than normal have your doctor check it out, but other than that just relax

Stress and not eating healthy could be the cause of this. If the body is not getting enough of the things that it needs, it messes everything up. If you are concerned, talk to a doctor, but i'm sure that it is just because of what you have been going through. I am sorry about your fiance. Goodluck :)

Go see a doctor. Although stress and not eating do affect periods, when you are on the pill, the worst they should do is cause it to come late! (Trust me, I've been there.) This could be indicative of some kind of problem down there, or it could be "spotting" which may be indicative of pregnancy. (The pill is only 99% effective when used absolutely correctly and if you are smack in the middle of your healthy weight range.)

It is possible that you are having break through bleeding. This happened to me when I was taking a generic birth control pill. Go visit you doctor to discuss further.

Stress can do a lot to the body especially when it comes to your periods. I don't think its anything to worry about. It has happened to me before. If you really aren't comfortable about it then go see a doctor to be sure. I wouldn't lose sleep over it if I were you.
Also don't let any guys stress you out.... its his fault he left and I'm sure one day he'll regret it!
