Hi corinne is short, welcome!

If you aren’t having your period then you aren’t ovulating so you aren’t producing an egg to fertilize. If you were irregular before you went on BC then that may be what is happening. It can be a normal thing to occasionally skip a period, but if I skipped three in a row I’d want to have my doc check it out to make sure nothing’s wrong, you know? Now, about not using protection. Unless you are TTC you should be using an effective form of contraception unless an unintended pregnancy wouldn’t be a problem for you. Let us know what your doc says, ok?

Good luck
