I'm not sure about when you will get your period.

It takes most women about 3 cycles to adjust to the pill so you may not have given your body enough time to get used to it before stopping.

Did you have a period between the first and second pack? With a low estrogen pill and stopping mid-pack you may not have built up enough endometrium to shed. You are probably ok but you might want to test, just for reassurance.

Hey,

I had to stop midcycle as well when I tried LoEstrin24. My withdrawal bleed came right after I stopped taking the pills but my next period didn't come for about two months. I just loaded up on pregnancy tests (yeah, those 3-packs they sell at the pharmacy) and eventually it came. Right after LoEstrin I had decided not to take BCP again but then I reconsidered and decided to try Nuvaring. I ended up waiting for two months till my period came but my doctor said that I could start it without waiting for my period.
