If you are worried take a test. Loestrin
24 has been known to cause a loss of
periods for many women and it does not
mean you are pregnant.

If you are taking birth control correctly
then your chances of getting pregnant are
about 1%. What you are experiencing when
you bleed on birth control is not a period
anyway, it is withdrawl bleeding from the
pill.
Don't worry so much. You are fine

She wants to be pregnant honey!! You're
missing the point!!
Technically, you can't get pregnant until
your cycle starts again. (Until you
ovulate again) which will be about 14 days
before your first period. It may take a
couple months for that to happen. During
this time, it is possible to conceive, but
it will be more difficult until your
period returns.
Sometimes doctors can prescribe medication
to kickstart your period. If you're
worried, you can try that. Otherwise
you'll just have to wait it out.
Good luck!

I'm not really sure about the specifics,
you would have to ask your doc (and get a
presciption)
