What Causes A Missed Period While On Nora-Be Mini Pill?
I m on Nora-be (minipill) And i use condoms during intercourse as well (most of the time, but SO sometimes doesnt for a bit and never ejaculates), My periods have come later and later ever since i started but this month it didn t come at all. I dont feel different. Today i got light cramps and very very light bleeding + an hour ago nausea and a hot flash. I took a test 2 days ago and one today and both were negative. Could the birth control be causing this?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Mini pill is a single hormone contraceptive (progesterone derivative). It is known to cause delayed,absent or irregular type of menses. To have good effect it's important to take the pills very regularly (without a break ) & at same time of a day & follow the instructions strictly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale
