Skipped placebo week to skip period. this month i took the placebos but did not get a period. neg preg test. why?

Very thin uterine: lining.The uterine linings of some women using bcp contraception after skipping period or using extended cycle contraception become so thin that they don’t bleed at all during the week they are suppose to bleed ( get their period). If you don’t get a period, check a pregnancy test and if it’s negative, don’t be concerneasd. Just keep taking your birth control.
