I'm confused.

When a girl is on birth control, she only gets a period during the placebo week.

Did the placebo week come and go, and she still doesn't have a period?

If she hasn't had a placebo week yet, then of course she's not going to have her period.

In the first case (placebo week came and went) just wait until her next placebo week and test if she still doesn't get a period.

In the second case (placebo week hasn't come yet) then stop worrying!

Some women simply do not have a period while on birth control pills, it is because of the hormones.

It is not dangerous, and does not cause problems.

It kinda sounds to me like she began her pack mid-cycle or something.
