(another!) Pill query

I've been on the pill for 3 years now - microgynon for 3 months, then dianette for a couple of years, and now yasmin since january.

I start my pills on a monday and finish on a sunday - with microgynon and dianette my period always began on the thursday of the pill free week; since i started yasmin it came on the wednesday. This month, however, i didn't come on til this morning (giving me quite a scare and a restless night's sleep last night as well!)

I'm not particularly stressed, there's a lot going on right now - just about to finish my job etc - but still, i'd say i was way more chilled out this month than i have been for quite a while. Nothing else has changed - i haven't run the packs together or anything.

Anyone else experienced a day change of their periods? I wonder if mine will be a thursday from now on again...

A day won't make much of a difference.....i take my last pill on a friday and my period usually comes on the tuesday, but it can be wednesday too.. pesky things!

i always finish my pills on a saturday and im on the wednesday. the only reason ive ever changed days is if ive missed a pill near the end of the sheet. When that happens i sometimes come on a day earlier but most commonly its still the wednesday.

If you miss a pill near the end of the strip (7 days) you need to start taking your next pack straight away :s

Yeh your ment to, but im not seeing anyone atm so i cant see the point.. might as well get rid of the mood swings and breakouts instead of having it linger while you take the next pack.

I've had this..i'm now on Cerazette after various other pills and my period is all over the shop! It used to always come on a Saturday, literally every saturday every month for 4 years near enough. Now it's usually a wednesday or a thursday, and I barely know when I will come on and I get a lot of spotting too.
