What Causes Missed Menstruations While On Zoely?
Question: I take zoely pill and my period has stopped I dont get it when I take the 4 sugar/ placebo pills. I am not sexually active so no chance of being pregnant. Haven't had a period for six months, should I stay off zoely longer so I do get a period?
Brief Answer:
Need to change pills
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns about not getting periods with zoely pills.
Zoely pills contain about 2.5 mg of progesterone. Your body needs more progesterone probably. Please change the pillb random to something that has more amount of progesterone hormone content.
Another option is wait for 10 days after finishing zoely pills so that your periods start and you continue new pack after your periods start.
Let me know if you need any more clarification.
Regards

Did you mean to say it's ok to 'not' have a normal period? How long can you go/ it's recommended to not have a period? I am enjoying it, I used to bleed on and off for 8 weeks so this is great! I just thought that when I am taking the four placebo pills blood might be building up then starting zoely before it has a chance to clear out?if that makes sense
