Just a quick question: Is it possible to miss a period while taking birth control pills if you aren't pregnant.

yes, it is possible, particularly when just starting. But as in anything else, if you have doubts, please seek advice/care of your family dr or OB. Good luck.

Some of the newer pills (Camilla? comes to mind) work like Depo - you take them all month (no placebo week) and eventually get no period (woohoo! for some people - unnerving for others.) As Deb indicated, call your provider for questions about your specific situation.

my first thought when I saw the title of the thread was [birth control] is a very good thing!
