When you're using hormonal Birth Control (like the patch, pill, ring, shot, or hormonal IUD), the birth control can lighten up the amount of bleeding so much that you only see spotting, or see no period at all. If you're having symptoms of pregnancy like breast tenderness, nausea, or fatigue, you might take a pregnancy test. If you've made a mistake using your birth control method in the last month, you should definitely take a pregnancy test. If you are feeling well otherwise, and have used the method correctly, there is no need for concern.

If you find this absence of withdrawal bleeding worrisome, you can talk with your health care provider about other birth control options more likely to give you monthly bleeding.

I don't believe so - but if it continues call your medical practitioner. If this is down low in your belly there are other things that can cause lower abdominal pain that only a doctor can diagnose.

If you are having pain in a muscle in your leg, or experiencing: calf or thigh pain or feel tender when you touch or squeeze it or when you stand or move. Pain may get worse and last longer or become constant. A red or "hot spot" to touch - this could be a rare but dangerous blood clot and needs immediate medical attention.

This is a serious side effect of the Pill, it is extremely rare in women under 35 and nonsmokers, but needs to be seen by your doctor or ER physician.
