A member asked:
Is it possible that i am pregnant if i miss my period on the placebo week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The pills are not 100% effective, so you should check a pregnancy test, but there are other things that can cause the period to be missed, so if the pregnancy test is negative, there are other tests that should be checked.
