I am on micronor mini pill. I have been on it for 6 mths, and have always had a period with it. (earlies has been 24 days, longest has been 28) but I have always had one. Today Im on day 37 and still no signs of it coming.I took a test on say 28 and it was neg, going to take one tommorow just to be sure tho.
anyways because of this ( dont like not getting my period, I dont think its natuaral / or if I am pregnant) I stopped taking it 4 days ago, everything I have read says when you miss a pill or stop taking it, you should have spotting , withdraw bleed whatever....but nothing, not even a spot. Does this make sense. I would think if it was the pill stopping my period (which it never did before) , I should get something. I know for a fact I ovulated last mth , felt the pain, had the mucus, sore boobs etc , everything i get when pmsing.
I have felt really sick to my tummy and my boobs feel bigger and hurt the last few days to. Could this be from stopping the pill.
And if i was pregnant wouldnt a test pick it up 2 days after my missed period.
thanks

Anything you could tell me would be great.

Depends on when you had sex. Sperm can live up to 5 days with the right pH balance.

You do not HAVE TO spot if you miss a pill. In the last 5-7 years 90% of the time I have NOT spotted from missing a pill. I've started my period the first week in to the next pack. Does not happen alot but it has happened. If you miss more than 3 periods with a negative test then it may be amenorrhea. It could be stress too.

Stopping the pill should not cause swollen boobs if anything they would go down from less hormones.

If it bothers you... a call to your doctor will help ease your mind.
