It is common: Loestrin ocp is very low dose pills. It is common for these type of pills to thin the endometrial lining so much, you stop or slow down your menstruating. If you are taking the pills as directed without missing any, you have a low chance of getting pregnant. . If in doubt, taking a test.

Can happen!: Wait for another cycle before being concerned. Also, other hormonal issues can come into play-thyroid, prolactin, etc!
