Hello, today I found out a friend of mine still hasn't had her period when it usually starts. She has been on the pill since april. We had sex on sunday fyi. Today she tells me that she still hasn't had her period this has us both concerned. We were using protection that nite and are confused. My friend has before not start her period on the day that she usually starts. I have suggested that she head to the Dr. on monday. Is this possible to not have a period go for a month when you are on the pill?? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi perzac7, welcome!

If she has been taking her pills correctly since April then she should be over the adjustment period. Depending on her body chemistry and the hormones in her pills it is entirely possible to miss a period and not be pregnant. She could take a pregnancy test (they can be bought at most pharmacies) just to see where she is. It would be a good idea for her to talk with her doctor to let him or her know what’s going on and to get his or her opinion. Thanks for posting. Let us know how she's doing, ok?

Good luck

As long as she hasn't missed taking any pills or taken them incorrectly she should be OK....Yeah,it's possible to skip periods while on the pill....if she's worried she should test....if that comes back negative and she's still worried,have her see her dr....
