hi i need advice im on the mini pill and ive been taking it since the end of june and me and my boyfriend have been having sex during middle of july- start of august and this might be me being paranoid but a week after i started the pill i had a 9 day period but that was before i had sex (he took my virginity and used a condom) and now i haven’t had a period since, im on holiday now and this has been really worrying me can anyone help xx

periods can be very irregular on the mini pill and it’s also normal for them to stop completely. if you’ve been taking your pills properly you should be okay, especially considering you’re using condoms as well. if you’re still worried, you can take a pregnancy test to make sure.

While it is a possible side effect you ideally do not bleed on the mini pill because you’re taking active ingredients every day. If you use your pill correctly and use condoms it’s impossible to be pregnant.

I'm on the desogestrel mini pill and haven't a bleed since January 2023, it's normal to not bleed at all
