I also took a plan b the weekend before my last cycle the 2nd should I be worried?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
It is common to have a less of bleeding or absence of periods during the first three months of starting the pill.
It is possible that this pill is a progesterone hormone that has caused thinning of the layer in the uterus which causes period bleeding. It can cause lack of bleeding for a long time.
You can start with your next pack of pills and as long as you are taking the pills regularly, pregnancy is not likely. If you do not have periods even after the second pack of pills, then you need to consult your gynecologist to rule out possible hormonal imbalance.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
