Hi collegegirl27, welcome!

Missing a period while on oral contraceptives can sometimes happen. If you miss two in a row you should talk with your doctor. Missing periods can happen after you have been on a pill for a while. How long have you been on this pill? If you have been taking your pills correctly you should be quite safe, but if you have taken the placebo pills and Aunt Flow didn't show up then you can test and see where you are. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Hugs,

      Jill

This same thing happened to me this month, and I took THREE HPT's. I just had my son six months ago and DID not want to be pg. I finally called my OB and they told me that especially with low dose BCP (Im on Alese) there is not enough uterine lining build up, so you sometimes miss periods. I hope this is the case with yours. But they did also tell me if it hahpens again next month to make an appointment to see them as I may need a higher dose pill.
