No Period Help

I have been on Minastrin for 2 months. The first month I skipped my period on purpose by not taking the brown pills and going straight to the next back. Now I'm on my second pack and took the last brown pill today. I haven't gotten my period and start my 3rd pack tomorrow. Is this normal ? ## Hello, Krys! How are you? Yes, some women don't have periods while taking oral contraceptives and it's nothing to worry about, unless your doctor feels there is reason to be concerned. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with?

Ok, so I just got married and started the pill right before I got married. The first month everything was normal and I started my period like clockwork the first day of the white pill. Month number 2 rolls around, I am on my 3rd day of white pills and no period. Should I be concerned. Is pregnancy possible. As far as I know I have not missed any blue pills and done very well in taking them. ## If you are worried, it never hurts to consult your doctor, just in case. However, menstrual irregularities are normal, when you are new to taking hormonal contraceptives, because your body does have to adjust to the changes in hormones and you may experience irregular bleeding, or missed periods for the first 3 months, or so. Are there any other questions or comments? ## I have taken two packs of ...

Hi this is my first pack of sprintec I take my pills at 11:00 everyday and never missed one and I'm on my 3rd white pill but still haven't started my period I also had unprotected intercourse on the 7th day of starting this birth control .. I don't know if I should take a test or just wait it out ??? Help ? Please ? ## Hello, Buttercup09! How are you? Did you start the tablets the first day of your period or at another point in your cycle? If you started on the first day of your period, then you were immediately protected, but if you started them at any other point in your cycle it would take a full 7 days for them to become effective to prevent ovulation, so it wouldn't be safe to have unprotected intercourse until the 8th day, or later.

I started my pills on 8/4/13 and this week I'm on my placebo pills and I haven't missed no active pills and take them at the same time. But haven't start my period. When will I start? ## Hi, Jess! Did you start it the first day of menstruation or at some other point during your cycle? Have you been engaging in intercourse? If you start the first day of your period, then you are protected immediately, but if you start it at some other point, then backup contraception must be used for the first 7 days. Have you done a pregnancy test? ## ok so I started my period on 9/11. started sprintec on 9/26. had intercourse 9/30. I missed one pill the 3rd day but have been taking them everyday since then. when should I expect my first cycle? ## I am on my very first pack of Sprintec. My d...

I never miss pills ever I take them religiously and I have a alarm to warn me to take them so never missed a pill , but I always always start on the Friday of my white pills arounnd1 pm AMD it's now 6 and I still haven't syarted. I am very intimately active but never had an accident with my boyfriend coming in me. I never take the white pills because my mom told me they didn't matter. I'm such a wreck and I know stress doesn't help but I don't know what to do. Help ## Hello, alg! How are you? Did your period start? Your mother is correct, there are no active ingredients in those tablets. You will experience many more changes as the years go by, so you really need to get used to the fact that things aren't always going to be the same. Your body and hormone lev...

Ok so I've been on the Junel 21 for two months. I finished my pack last thursday. I am on day six of no pill and still no period. However I do have a yeast infection that i have no clue where it came from. Is it possible i'm pregnant and if so how soon can I take a pregnancy test to found out? ## If you've been engaging in intercourse, there is always the risk of pregnancy, but it's not very likely if you haven't missed taking any of your active tablets. It can be normal to occasionally skip a period, and sometimes yeast infections, and the medications to eradicate can also throw your cycle off, you may also experience irregular cycles due to changes in physical activity, stress levels, and other factors. Some people that take oral contraceptives stop having periods ...

I switched from a different type of pill to Minastrin this month. This is Saturday at the end of my first pack and I have had no period at all. Is this common with this pill? I know it supposed to make period lighter, but I need some kind of indication every month that I'm not pregnant! ## Hello, Matilda! How are you? If you haven't missed any pills, then there shouldn't be any reason to worry about being pregnant and yes, some women don't have periods, while taking oral contraceptives. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, bloating and weight gain. If you really aren't comfortable skipping your period, then you might need to switch, again. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi last month I took medroxprogesterone 40mg for 4 days because I wanted to shorten my period instead of shortdn my period it lasted for 10 days I was off my period for 3 weeks and I got my period on the. 3rd of may and it lasted.for 6 days I was off for 1 day and now I have been spotting for the past 3 days ## Hello, Barbara! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. This is a hormone, so it is very likely that is has thrown off your natural balance and it may take a few months for things to get back to normal. Have you consulted your OB Gyn? You should also have things checked out to be safe.

If I get my period while still on the "active" pills do I continue to take them as normal? Is that an overdose of hormones? ## No, it is not an overdose, breakthrough bleeding is actually a normal side effect of hormonal contraceptives and can occur for the first few months you are taking them. And yes, you should continue taking them, just as normal. Is there anything else I can help with?

I started my period thursday of last week and it was suppose to stop yesterday but it is still bleeding pretty badly and today is monday. When will this stop? ## Hi Audrey, Are you currently taking any medications, (such as birth control) that might be attributing to the severity of your period? From what I've heard, it is rather common for periods to last as long as a couple weeks. This may be due to a number of reasons (diet, hormones, stress, anxiety, etc), but I would recommend going in to see a gynecologist at your convenience, if it doesn't subside within the next week. I hope this info helps! ## Yes, I am taking Lo Loestrin Fe. Your info was very helpful and informing.. Greatly appreciated !

I have Been on tri-sprintec for about three weeks and I havent had a period yet. Should I be worried? I also havE been spotting for about 4 days now I have taken two pregnancy test abd they have both been negative should I be worried? Or is it just my body adjusting to the pill? ## Hello, Blakney! How are you? You shouldn't get your period, until the last week of pills, which don't have active hormones in them. And yes, spotting could be due to your body adjusting to them, but you should consult you doctor to be certain. Is there anything else I can help with?
