no bleeding yet

Hi, this is my first month on the Orthocept pill. I got varying answers about when it would be effective (I started the Sunday right after my period)-- anywhere from immediately to a full cycle. After about two weeks, my boyfriend and I stopped using condom protection for the most part.

Now I'm on the green pills (mine is a 28 day pack, and the green pills are the nonactive ones) and I haven't started bleeding yet. It's been a day. Is this normal? Should I get a pregnancy test (god forbid)?

Thanks,
Nat

I've gotten my period on the second/third placebo pill. I really would not be concerned at all.

Hey! Thanks a ridiculous amount for the great information. It really reassured me (though I'll be more reassured when I get my period, haha). I really appreciate your post. I'm off to read the FAQs now.
