Answer
Hi Courtney,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor so please talk to your physician. I did just read an article about Microgynon 30 and it said that it is possible to have irregularities with your period when you are on this pill. You can have light period or no period at all. It said that if you don't have a period for two months, get a pregnancy test.
You could get a free pregnancy test by calling 1-800-395-HELP or go to http://www.optionline.org to find a free pregnancy resource center. Ask them when it would be appropriate to have the test. You can email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.

Thanks.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
