Is it normal to skip a period on Low Ogestrel birth control?

i have been on low ogestrel for about 3-4 months now. my period came around the 1st of last month. it's now the 15th and it still has not come. i took a pregnancy test and it came back negative-is it normal to skip a period on these birth control pills? i'm a bit worried.Is it normal to skip a period on Low Ogestrel birth control?
yes its normalIs it normal to skip a period on Low Ogestrel birth control?
On any hormonal birth control, skipping a period can be normal. You've been on the pill long enough it's really taking effect and balancing your hormones and doing all the things it will do. You should get a period when you finish your pack of pills this time, and it will likely be lighter than you expect (especially for skipping this month). However, if you skip next month, you should call your doctor and let them know you've skipped two periods and ask what they think you should do.
It is fairly normal. If you are under 18, it is even more normal. When did you take the pregnancy test? If you took one close to the time when you should have started, consider taking another one in case you had a false negative. If you just took it, wait until you skip another period, and if you do skip another one, do to the doctor and get a blood test.
yeah i've skipped periods before while on loestrin. it takes months for your body to adjust to the change of hormones.
