Q: Birth Control Pills - Microgestin 1/20 FE Tab S28 green

I am taking Microgestin 1/20 FE Tab S28 green, but am having no periods on placebo (iron) week. I have not had a period in over a year. Is this cause for concern?
I have been taking this particular birth control for almost 3 years. I am scheduled to see regular Doctor in January.

No, that is not necessarily a problem.

This is not 'common', but some women just ALWAYS skip a period while on birth control pills. This is even if they do not try.

You do not 'need' a period on BC, mainly because the period you get is not a 'real' period anyway.

It is just bleeding from lack of BC pills in your system that week.

After I was on a low dose pill for a while, I didn't mine either. Now I'm on the mini pill and never get it.

When I was on loestrin (the same) I had a fine sex drive. Other pills have effected it, though.
