Hey everyone! I am a 34 yr old F who is currently taking the combined pill, millinette. I have been on it for about 2/3 years and never had an issue before. I’ve never missed a pill and have always had withdrawal bleeds when on the week long break which mimics a period.
last week I was due my withdrawal bleed and surprisingly nothing came. I still had all my usual symptoms such as headaches and cramps, but I never bled at all.
I’ve taken four pregnancy tests and they were all negative. I have been to see a male GP who was lovely but didn’t seem to know a lot about this topic really.
I’ve read it can be common, especially when you’ve been on the pill for a while, for the pill to thin your lining that much that you don’t always have something to shed and therefore there would be no bleed - but he said this isn’t actually common. he said although I have taken four tests, I should take more over the next week or two - but surely if it was pregnancy stopping me bleeding, it would show up on a test right?
has anyone experienced this before? Or are there any medical practitioners out there who can shed some light on it this is normal or not?
