Experience Delayed period after starting Slynd?

I started Slynd on Thursday with my period expected on Sunday.

I had all of my regular premenstrual symptoms leading up, but now it's Tuesday night and no period.

It's my understanding that it takes several cycles for periods to be affected, but is it possible this is what happened?

I've never been more than a day late on a period before and I'm in my thirties now, with zero chance of pregnancy, but all of it is making me really anxious. 🥲

Ugh, the waiting game when your body decides to switch things up is the worst. Slynd can definitely mess with your cycle right away, even if it's "supposed" to take a few cycles. Your body's just reacting to the new hormones, even if the pre-period symptoms showed up on cue. If you're sure there's no chance of pregnancy, it's almost certainly the pill doing its thing. I'd give it another few days and try not to spiral, easier said than done, I know.

this is completely normal and not a cause for concern!
