What Causes Stoppage In Menstruation?

My girlfriend is on Loestrin 24 Fe birth control pill and has been for probably 8 months. She takes it religously. We recently had sexual intercourse and I was not wearing a condom but I pulled out before ejaculation. She had her period a week before sexual intercourse, and now, 1 week later, when she is taking the placebo pills and supposed to have her period she isnt. Whats the deal?

hi,
I have read your query & understand your concern.
Your girl friend is taking contraceptive pills Loestrin 24 Fe regularly,at the time of sex you had taken precaution in form of withdrawal... all these thins suggest sufficient of protection & there seems to be no chance of conception.
You are concerned as she did not start her menses while on placebo pills. this can be due to psychological stress leading to hormonal disturbance. / withdrawal pills go for 7 days & e may start menses till then.
If you are very much stressed, Urine pregnancy test done after 8 days of expected menses.. would relieve your tension.
Even if she doesn't, get menses you should start with next pack of the pills ..mostly periods would follow this pack.. and in case there is no period in next month too... you can consult your doctor.
Thanks.
