Is it normal not to have had a period for 2 months on Micronor?

25-year-old woman3 years ago

It's been two months since I started the Micronor because I had a pulmonary embolism because of the Evra patch last August. I started Micronor at the same time I stopped taking my blood thinner (Eliquis) and for the last two months, I still haven't menstruated. Is this due to all these changes or should I be worried? Thank you

Hello,

Since Micronor contains 28 active tablets and it is not possible to have a break period, it often happens that women have irregular cycles or bleeding. Complete absence of menstruation is less frequent, but it is quite possible to have less bleeding.

So, if you have had risky relationships, I recommend that you take a pregnancy test since the pill is never 100% effective. However, your situation is not unusual

J'ai gradué de l'Université Laval en 2015. J'ai choisi le métier de pharmacienne car je suis une personne qui aime les défis et être challengée. Je vois dans l'initiative ''Question pour un pharmacien'' un moyen supplémentaire d'aider les gens et de combattre la désinformation sur internet. Les pharmaciens sont des personnes engagées ayant la santé de leurs patients à cœur. Il ne suffit parfois que de demander. Ainsi, n'hésitez-pas à poser vos questions ou à venir en personne à ma pharmacie. Au plaisir !
