Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Althea is an Estrogen and Progesterone contraceptive pill.Like other estrogren/progesterone pills, it has many possible side effects. Most of these side effects usually happen with new users and go away over time.
Among it side effects, delayed menstruation cycle (till 2 packs of Althea) has been described.
I will advise you just stay calm, continue your pills as prescribed and wait for your menses.If menses over delay or other symptoms appear, you see your Doctor for evaluation.
Hope my answer will help you
Best regards
