Finally spotting after months

Saw a dark spot on my underwear this afternoon and wasn't sure what it was at first. I guess that is a sign of how long it's been since my last period. The spot was brown, which is typical of the beginning of my cycle. It will be interesting to see if this becomes a full cycle or just a light, brown dribble.
Note: I did have a headache a couple of days ago, which tends to be one of the pre-menstrual symptoms of my cycle.

Went out of town, no period.

Scratch that last post. Went out of town for a week but still haven't started my period.
Interesting.
I think it's been 12 weeks and still no period.
I get hot a lot, sweating to the point I have to change my clothes. Perhaps this is the beginning of "the change"?

Why is it that I start my period when out of town?

Seriously, it seems that any time I am traveling, which is not often, I start my period.
Could it be because I have intercourse more when I stay in hotels?
Anyway, the continuous BCPs seem to be doing the trick because even though my periods are not fun, they are nothing like I experienced before. The gastrointestinal symptoms are rare and when they rear their ugly head they are livable.
I am so relieved that the Levora is doing the trick.
