A member asked:
Is it normal not to have periods during the 7-day break on the pill? i took test and they were negative.

Yes: With the current low dose pills we are using now, it is very common to have scant bleeding or even no period during the off week. It is nothing to worry about, assuming you are not pregnant. If it bothers you, the doctor can raise the estrogen dose up a bit to give you periods.
