No period for three months since starting the Mini pill
19 y/o. I'm worried about not having had a period since before Christmas, I had to change from the normal pill to the mini pill after experiencing a severe migraine (normal pill puts migraine sufferers at the risk of strokes etc), I've always had regular periods on the pill which I've taken for about two years, but when I switched to the mini pill in Dec, I've had no periods. I've been to speak to a nurse about it and she told me it was normal but wasn't very reassuring about it and my mum when she found out completely flipped out and reckons I am ruining my fertility or something. I'm getting fairly stressed out and just need some advise about what to do :(
Thanks so much!

Because the mini pill is taken all the time, it means that often people don't get their period. This is completely healthy and is because of the hormones in the pill.
It's not making your fertility worse, its just how that pill works. Enjoy the fact you don't have to worry about your periods.
I'm on the mini pill due to migranes as well and personally I think its way better than the other one.
If you want to know anything else don't hesitate to ask but seriously, don't worry about it. It's just how it works. Whatever you do though, don't listen to that other person who told you to go back on the other pill. She doesn't know what she's talking about and it could put you at serious risk.
Take care!

I would suggest switching back to the normal pill. i am on YAZ and i get migraines too but they go away after a few months of being on the pill, because you get used to the hormones and stuff. But i talked to my Gyno and she said it is not good to be on those pills because yes you can mess up your fertility!! I hope you take my advice.
