I have been taking Errin since I had my daugher who is now two. I did not have a period on Errin. I want to have another child sometime next year so I recently switch to Apri in order to start having a period again. It has been two weeks since I start taking Apri an I have not have any sign of a period. I sometimes have minor cramps but that is all. Is it normal not to have a period on this med. I switch after the first week of taking Errin.

Well, you do have to wait for your placebo week to get your period, so I'm not sure why you'd be expecting it after only 2 weeks of being on active pills?

i read the literature it said you should start on day one and since i was switching i must of thought it would trigger it, thanks

It doesn't usually work that way, usually it stops the period when someone starts the pill.
