The Althea Pill contains hormones that may make your period lighter than normal or not come at all. Make sure that you are taking the pills consistently. (Every day at the same time) for 21 days. Allow 7 days for any menstruation (days 22-28), then start the next pack on day 29 (8 days after the last pill)
