Hi,
The hormonal pills you are taking without a break of non-hormonal pills, that's why you have no periods. The hormonal pills taken at a stretch for 3 months helps to suppress endometriosis but it also has a side effect of irregular spotting / vaginal bleeding. You are having the same. Nothing to worry about, continue taking pills as advised. Only thing to do is to follow good vaginal hygiene.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
