A member asked:
I switched my bcp to loestrogen. i just started my third pack but didn't get a period last week during the sugar pill week. is that normal?

Possible: It is not uncommon to have a very light period when taking ocp's, and to occasionally skip a period while taking the pill is not abnormal. You should take a pregnancy test to rule out contraceptive failure.
