Can birth control cause me to miss my period?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Many women do not have a menstrual cycle when taking birth control pills. In fact some pills are packaged without the hormone free week to intentionally prevent your period. Nothing to worry about unless you have other symptoms.
