A member asked:
I'm newly on the pill (4 mo) and every time i'm around 3 days late. i'm sexually active but always end up getting a heavier period. why is it late?

OCPs: It is likely due to the type of ocp that you are using. You may want to consider switching to a different one. Having you period 3 days later is not a big issue but if the heavying bleeding is bothersome i would recommend switching pills.
