On Levlen Ed For Two Cycles. History Of Having Irregular Periods. Risk Of Pregnancy With Intake Of Non Hormonal Pills Without Periods?
I have been taking levlen ed for two cycles now, my first period I skipped and I am concerned that I will not get my second period. I have a history of unreliable periods after going 6 months without one and not being pregnant. I'm concerned that if I start taking the 7 day non hormonal pills and I don't get a period that I could be at risk of pregnancy.

Hi,
The idea behind oral contraceptive is to avoid ovulation. for this a regular pill consumption from 5th day of cycle is a must.
Naturally to start a pill without periods is not going to work.It will have a untoward effect ,if taken in a pregnant stage.
You need investigations ( USG,ovulation study) for your period irregularity.
An expert advice should follow the investigation.
Thanks.
