yes, late. recently, she was late by 3 days. as i understand it, with the pill, once you move to the placebos, the period was supposed to come almost immediately. 3 days late is when she starts to freak out. the period didn't come until the afternoon of the third day. she was freaking out that morning. didn't tell me because there wasn't enough time.
"We've had a couple of scares already, although she'll usually not tell me about it until after the blood started flowing, according to her, in order to save me from the scare."

(That last bit from your original post.)
You certainly don't have to, that's your perogative, of course. And usually I am more sanitized for your protection. God forbid someone was hotheaded...
If I made my point boldly, that's too damn bad. I didn't call you, her, or anyone names. If you don't like to think about what I implied, that's your problem. One of my best buds had a "scare" that we eventually found out was a result of her having unprotected sex with another man. She and my bud always used condoms, and never had one broken. It was seriously unpleasent to think about, and the whole thing sucked awfully. I said it out loud because it happens, hopefully not to you, but it does. I said it out loud because I find it hard to believe you're having scares with multiple forms of birth contol.
I've quoted you above as saying "We've had a couple of scares already, although she'll usually not tell me about it until after the blood started flowing, according to her, in order to save me from the scare."
That, for some odd reason, (maybe it's the plural "couple of scares" and the word "usually" like it happens all the time), led me to believe it's normal for her to think she's pregnent and not tell you until later. Gosh, how would what you said give me that impression? I responded to that because a baby is not either of yours alone, and anything in that area is both your concern. If she was hiding informtion, you'd have a serious problem. If she's not, that's great. Good for you, wonderful.
The whole 3 day bit sounds like you both need to google "birth control pills" and read up. My wife has been on estrosetpFE for the last 4 years, before we even met, in fact. Her period happens to start like clockwork on Wednesday, 3 days after taking the last "real" pill on Suncay. All women are different, of course, and there are many factors (as mentioned above) that can change a woman's timing.
Since I'm so blunt, let me be so again.
Her "freaking out" at 3 days into the placebo and you thinking the period starts immediatley after taking the last pill, speaks only of how little either of you know about your bodies, and how birth control affects you both.
It's all out there on the internet, which you obviously are fortunate enough to have access too. I suggest you both get together and learn about what flooding her body with hormones does to her.
