Hi,
Progestin only pill is a progesterone hormone preparation. Irregular or no periods is a common side effect of this preparation. It is essential to continue taking pill as advised without taking a break. Your experience is normal from the drug and safe as far as you stick to to regular intake.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
