Not necessarily: Many women do not get their periods on Lo-loestrin or are irregular, so this is common. There are also other reasons for skipping a period, such as stress or illness. You may not need a visit with your doctor, but I would recommend that you give them a call to discuss, as they know you best. They will likely tell you to wait to see what happens over the next month, but it's still best to check.
