Oral contraceptives: Anytime you miss that many pills it could take several months to cycle correctly but if you were sexually active do a pregnancy test

Pregnant?: You may be pregnant . Take a pregnancy test . If it is negative you may have had no period or very little period when you were on placebo pills after skipping your period. Bcp can decrease the amount of bleeding or can eliminate bleeding during the placebo week.
