Changing birth control pills?

Question

I have been taking ortho tricyclen lo for about 2 years. Last month I changed pills to Loestrin. I didn't get my period at all this cycle. Should I be worried? Or is it normal when switching pills?

Answer 1

Sometimes your body has to adjust to the new hormones of the new pills, which will sometimes cause a delayed period or no period. If this is something you are concerned about, call your gynecologist that prescribed you the new pills and ask them if there are any side affects with the pills, such as a missed period.
