I was with my previous partner for 8 years. At the start of that relationship I was on the contraceptive pill (Celeste) and then I started forgetting pills and ended up coming off the pill and not using anything. I never fell pregnant and have never had tests so am not sure whether one of us had a problem or we were just lucky I didn’t fall pregnant.

Anyway, we split up in December last year and I have since got with my current partner which has been about 5 months now. At the beginning of this relationship I thought it safer to start the pill again. I went back onto Cileste as this was the one I was on all those years back.

Throughout taking Cileste I was getting bad headaches so decided to finish my three month pack and go to the doctors to see about another pill. I finished my last pill on Saturday 10 May and came on my period on 12 May. I couldn’t then get into the doctors until the following Monday (2 days over my 7 day break). She put me on to Leostron 20 (I think it is) which I started that evening the 19th May. This is a 21 day pill. I was taking this but it had terrible side effects so much so my partner said I really need to throw them away as I was emotional, irritable and just a totally different person. I ended up stopping taking these 3 days before the end of the pack. That was last Thursday 5th June. I have been to my doctors and now have Evra Patch to start but cannot do so until I start my period. It is now Thursday 12th June and I haven’t come on. I did a Predictor pregnancy test today and it was negative but I have since heard that these are not always very good.

Can anyone tell by my dates etc as to what the problem could be here or advice on what I should do?

I'm not sure when you will start or should start. More than likely with the different hormone pills you've been taking plus stopping the one pack of pills 3 days early your body is still trying to adjust to everything. It can take some women a while to get a period after stopping birth control unfortunately.
