Im on minastin 24 fe birth control... should i be concerned that i didn't get my period during the last placebo pills?

Maybe: You should do a pregnancy test to exclude pregnancy. If you are not pregnant the you may have 'pill' induce amenorrhea. This can happen with oral contraceptive pill use. There is nothing to worry as long as you are not pregnant. If you period does not return and you desires to have regular monthly bleeding you may take a 'brief' break from using the pill. Usually one month is enough.
