A member asked:
Are there any ways to skip a period while you're on the pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the lining of the womb gets very thin, which it sometimes does after years on the pill, there might be nothing to shed, so a 'missed period'. The protection from pregnancy is still in effect.
