    No period on the pill Loestrin
    I have been taking the contraceptive pill Loestrin for a year and this month I did not get my period. I've started the 2nd pack for 5 days now and I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I'm freaking out. Am I pregnant? How could I be if I took the pill every morning religiously?

    Hi kelly, no I don't think your pregnant,as you say the test was negative.

    Your minds just saying... missed a period = pregnant.

    The trouble with the contraceptive pill, is that after a while it can sometimes mess up your monthly cycle.

    O.k yes there is a slight possibility that you could be pregnant, nothing is 100% safe, but it's highly unlikely.

    You've been on it for a year now, which is quite a long time, it may be that you need to come off it for a while to re-regulate your periods, which some doctors do suggest,others may simply say you need a change of contraceptive pill, to bring things back to normal.

    Quite often people who do take the pill, will on occasion miss a period,but then have one next time round... so don't worry

    I have had this same problem. I haven't had a period after nearly a year either, and when questioning my doctor they just said... "is this causing you a problem" which it isn't... but it does worry me, however they have insured me that it is normal
