Can you miss a period on birth control?

Answer 1

yes
usally when you miss your period a couple times you are pregnant. but then sometimes when you miss it and you are taking the pill you dont always end up pregnant.

But i would get tested for being pregnant if you missed it expecially more than once.

Answer 2

Not having periods every month could indicate a number of things. If you are a teenager, it could mean that your body is still starting to regulate itself. If you are over 40, you might be in peri-menopause, meaning that you are about ready to stop ovulating. Depending on the woman, peri-menopause can take several years.

If you don't eat well, or you have an eating disorder, you might stop having periods.

If you are sexually active and you stop having periods, it could mean you are pregnant unless you are starting peri-menopause or full-blown menopause.

Answer 3

It is quite normal for your menstrual cycle to be interrupted while on Birth Control. The hormones it manipulates tricks your body into thinking that it is pregnant, so your body will not make the preparations in order to have a child (such as thickening the uterine lining which is shed during your period). In fact, the only real periods you get while on the pill are when you take the occasional placebo/sugar pill in the mix, which they include with the rest of the birth control to make sure you are aware of the need to take the pill as directed, a sort of test to see if you are paying attention. There is little need to worry about the issue, and no need to see a doctor unless this is highly unusual for you on birth control.

Answer 4

Yes, this is normal.

Hormonal birth control pills work by suppressing your menstrual cycles so that you no longer ovulate, as you no longer ovulate it means that you no longer menstruate - the bleeding women get while on the pill is withdrawal bleeding caused by the drop in synthetic hormones when going from active to inactive pills. The bleeding women experience on the pill is not a true period.

Note: Irregular bleeding is normal the first three months on the pill.

You should still experience a withdrawal bleed, although there are differing views on the idea of 'menstrual suppression' (stopping menstruation and withdrawal bleeds all together) there are health implications to consider before considering this option. If you're supposed to get a withdrawal bleed on your birth control but aren't then it's a good idea to talk to your doctor.

Answer 5

After 3 weeks during the last row of pills in the pack.
