Do pregnancy test: Do a pregnancy test to exclude pregnancy. If you are not pregnant then it's possible you may have 'pill induced' amenorrhea, this is not a cause for concern. Continue taking the pill as normal if still no withdrawal bleeding and you are not comfortable with amenorrhea (no period/withdrawal bleeding) then you may discuss management with your doctor.
