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)
