A member asked:

On sprintec 250 mg. i've taken 3 blank pills and haven't started my period. today is the 4th day and no period. should i be concerned about pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: If you finish all the blank pills and haven't had a period, you should do a pregnancy test. Some women on birth-control pills don't have periods but its best not to assume this is the cause the first few times it happens. Best wishes.
