Skipping Periods
UpdatedThis should be my fourth month on loloestrin fe. I have spotted once on it in the first month so i skipped the sugar pills the first and second month i was on it. This third month, i used the sugar pills as normal but didn't start my period, so i have not started the fourth month's set of pills. it has been about five days without pills and i have yet to start. should i be concerned?

Why didn't you go ahead and start the new pack as you should have?
These are hormonal based contraceptives, so it can be normal to have irregular menstrual cycles while taking them and that can include skipping altogether.

Are you sexually active? Have you done a pregnancy test?
