A member asked:
Would it be healthy to not get your period while on the birth control shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: One of the ways the birth control pill works is by decreasing the amount of lining the uterus has. Therefore, sometimes women will have no menses at the anticipated time. This is most likely normal.
