Skipping a period with birth control side affects. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its ok: One of the side effects of taking birth control is amenorrhea (period stops). This is normal and not harmful. I know a lot of women were taught you need your period to clean you out. This is simply not true. If you're not on birth control and skipping periods this may be an issue, but again is normal for pill use as well as other hormonal birth controls
