I have been on micronor (mini pill) for the past 1 1/2 haven't missed a pill and take it at the same time everyday. Normally my period comes regularly at the 15th of the month. This month no period came. I was feeling very nauseas and tired all the time So I took a pregnancy test 2 days ago. It came back negative. Is it normal to miss a period like this on micronor? Could I be pregnant and my results come back negative for some reason?
Any info is appreciated so much. Thank you for your help.

Micronor doesn't regulate your periods like regular birth control pills do. Irregular bleeding is one of the main side effects, and some women don't get periods at all while taking it. I was on Micronor for a year, and after I adjusted to it, I could go anywhere from 28 days to as much as 45 days between periods. If your period doesn't come soon you might want to try testing again in a week or so (in case you're pregnant but it's too early to show on a test), and it wouldn't hurt to call your doctor for advice.
