Can you tell me what to do about birth control causing a missed period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: the birth control pill can cause irregular bleeding patterns and missed periods, especially when taking the active medications, plus different birth control has different effects, you should get a period when you are on the dummy pills, if you are concerned and it is persistent follow up wiht your gyn is the best bet to either change the birth control or check for any other conditions
