Just Now Missed Period After A Year?

I have been on birth control since the age of 15 (5 years now) first it was Yaz then OrthoTriCyclen and now Lo Estrin Fe. The LoEstrin has worked amazingly for me and I have been on it for about a year and a half now. While I don't always take the pills the same time of the day, and I have missed one or two pills our of the year, I have always had a 2 or 1 day period no matter if I take the pills completely on time that whole month or if I skip the timing or a day. Sometimes I have had extremely heavy flow if I forget a pill that month, but otherwise, It has been a reliable period on this pill. This past month, I took all of my pills on the day they were supposed to be taken and I have experienced no period. I had mildly discolored discharge during my inactive pills and am concerned I might be pregnant. Am I overreacting? When should I take my pregnancy test? I am starting my new pack today.

Hello, Stephanie! How are you?

If you didn't actually miss any tablets, then there isn't a very high chance that you're pregnant. However, some women do stop having periods while taking this contraceptive.

Have you consulted your doctor? It would be best to talk to them to be sure.
