Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns,

As you told that you are on novelon and this time you did not get your periods.

In my opinion, sometimes some patients do not get period while taking tablet novelon.there is no problem.

If you did not miss any dose, chances of pregnancy is almost nil.

You do not take tension . To confirm it you can go for home urine pregnancy test.it shows positive result from the next day of your missed period.

Hope it helps.

Feel free to ask further.

Thanks.
