pill and missed period

Hi there,

I've been on Norimin for a few years now and I've had no problems with it. Every now and then (probably once a year) I would miss a period which doesn't worry me. But this year I've missed it once in July (I was on antibiotics a week before) and then again 2 weeks ago (pretty rare for me twice in a year and so close together). I want to think the first time was because of antibiotics.

Anyway I'm just wondering if missing a period like that is normal. I'm not preg (did a test) and we use a condom as well.

I'm halfway through the 2nd row of active pills and I'm planning to go to the doc if I don't get a period again, but would appreciate it if anyone knows anything about this.

Thank you!

Hi and thank you for your reply.

If say the level of hormone in the pill isn't right for me anymore, does that mean I'm still protected? Bf and I usually use condom as well but just this morning we didn't... I've taken my 3rd last pill today so I should get my period in a few days time.

Thanks.

Got a *drop* of blood this morning so I suppose that is my period. Does that count?! I mean it is only period day #1 and for me usually day 1 is very light, but if I don't get any more does that mean I've had my period or not?! Should I see a doc anyway? I'm just a bit frustrated!!
