A member asked:

What should i do when my period hasn't come on my 2nd day of placebo week?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Wendy Askew answered

Wait a little longer: It can take up to a week. If it doesn't start, you should check a pregnancy test, if negative, labs and sonogram can give an answer.

Dr Brasovan agreed
