Will Junel Fe Cause Irregular Periods?
I take Junel Fe 1/20 every day, and have been on it since August. However, I have only gotten my period once in january since I have been taking it! I didn t take it at the same time every day a week before my boyfriend and I had sex about a month ago, but we used condoms. Now I am still missing periods and have been urinating more frequently the last few days, and it s been painful but has gotten a little better. I also have a low bmi of 18.7, which could stop me from ovulating and having a period. My boyfriend and i had sex a week ago and i was supposed to start my next pack at 8 am the next morning, but i took it at 5 pm instead. We used condoms that time too. I m scared I might be pregnant, is there a possibility I could be?

Hi
Your history suggests the possibility of pregnancy since the hormonal pills have not been regularly and also at the same time of the day.
It is essential to rule out pregnancy by taking an urine pregnancy test or blood beta hcg test to detect pregnancy.Urine tests can detect pregnancy by 10 days of missed period.
Your BMI is low and should be corrected.Lower body weight ,Anemia and other nutritional deficiency and crash dieting may also contribute to irregular or delayed periods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
