month 4 on loestrin and no period
| Wed, 12-27-2006 - 7:38am |
I just finished my 4th month on Loestrin 1/20. For the first three months, my period started during the end of week three and trailed off at the beginning of my placebo week. I also noticed that it has been getting lighter every month. Last month I just had a tiny bit of spotting. This month, I just finished the placebo week and have had absolutely no bleeding. I once had a doctor tell me that I would always get a period on a 21 day pill unless I was pregnant, so I am worried. I took a HPT and it was negative, so what is going on? Is it normal to completely skip a period on the pill? and what do I do if it happens again next month? Do some women stop getting periods all together? Please help!

Hi kirajo97, welcome!

The general rule of thumb is that if you haven't messed up your pills, missing a period is no big deal.
I never actually missed a pill but I did have one slip up. I was 6 hours late starting this last pack of pills. Other than that, no mistakes, and I always use spermicide as a back up. Do you think I have anything to worry about? The HPT tests (I took 2) were negative, so that is pretty reliable, right?
