Hey Chelsea, thanks for your question. According to youngwomenshealth.org "If you miss one or more pills and miss a menstrual period, keep taking your pills but see your health care provider for a pregnancy test. If you miss two menstrual periods in a row, you should see your health care provider to see if you are pregnant, even if you missed no pills. Keep taking your pills in the meantime. Missing menstrual periods or having a very light menstrual flow is extremely common and does not mean there is anything wrong with you."
Also, other medications can affect the menstrual cycle. Are you on other medications, have you changed your diet, flown a long distance or experienced stress?
And you may want to circle back with your health care provider to find out more information. Thanks and look forward to hearing back from you.
