Switched to Ovcon, no period - normal?

At the beginning of this month I switched from Trinessa to Ovcon-35. I finished my pack of Trinessa, had my period and took the inert pills for a week, then started Sunday with my new pack of Ovcon, and I didn't have a period this month. I didn't have any PMS symptoms or anything.

Is this normal to not have a period the first month of switching pills??

Hi, mjewell! Long time, no talk. I wouldn't worry about the no period thing. Give it time. As long as you're taking your pills correctly, every day, at the same time, you should be fine. Your body's probably just adjusting to the new pill. Going from triphasic (Trinessa) to a monphasic (Ovcon-35) is quite a difference in hormones. Good luck.

Re: Switched to Ovcon, no period - normal?

I am having the same exact problem. I was on Yasmin and switched to Ovcon-35. Just completed my first month of Ovcon and only had a tiny bit of spotting. I have very "normal" periods usually, but this has me concerned. One of the reasons I am concerned is because I just started taking Tricor for cholesterol and Tricor should not be taken by women who are pregnant.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Well, I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, so I do think the switch has me all messed up. I actually found an old thread on here from someone having the same issue and she had gone alsmot 3 months on Ovcon without a period, so I think it is normal. Thanks for the replies!
