oralcon pills stops periods?

I had an emergency pill about 3 weeks before i started using the Oralcon pills, and took my 1st pill on the 2nd day of my menstruation, although my periods were not normal because of the emergency pill, but i still had my periods at that time, with less bleeding than usual. I'm on my 3rd pack of the Oralcon pills now, and i never had any periods since my 2nd pack, even when I'm on the red pills. I'm worried now, i want my periods back.

The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne, and bloating. However, only your doctor can help you discover if what you're experiencing is due to the medication. Are you on any other medications?
