Could birth control cause you to miss a period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
