I have no period on Ovranette - is this normal?
Traditionally combined pills have been taken for 21 days followed by a 7 day break during which you may have a withdrawal bleed like a period. Some people may experience very light bleeding or no bleeding at all during the break. If packets of the combined pill are taken continuously or back to back without a break, it is possible to avoid having a bleed altogether. This is perfectly safe and according to research, could make the pill more effective. Great news for your bank balance, white jeans and sex life! Find out more in our guide to
continuous pill taking. If you experience a change in bleeding pattern, or stop having bleeds whilst taking the combined pill and may be at risk of pregnancy, you should take a pregnancy test.
