On Nortrel, Was Getting Regular Periods Week Before Placebo. Delayed Periods. Is It Due To Stress ?
I ve been on Nortrel ( birth control pill ) for over a year now, and for the past 4 months I ve been getting my period a week before the placebo pill is supposed to start. It s been really annoying because before that it started the first day of the placebo pill every month like clockwork. My gynecologist said it s from stress , but I don t feel overly stressed. Life has been pretty normal. I take my pills every day at the same time as well.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The beginning of periods before the beginning of the placebo pills can be due to a mild hormonal disturbance. Since the periods are regular, there is nothing to worry. This will regularize on its own in a few cycles. Right now no treatment is needed for this.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
