What causes no bleeding in gap week of contraceptive pill?
Patient: I have been taking the contraceptive pill for over 2 years and have never missed a gap week. i am on my gap week now and still no bleeding? i was sick and had antibiotics and pain killers for my back during my last 21 days but used condoms as extra protection. should i go to my gp? Doctor: Hello,The company which you are saying suggesting me to rule out pregnancy first so for that reason opt for urine pregnancy test but at the same time chances of it to come positive is very less but still would like to rule it out first, then if its negative it means because of your recent illness your periods have got delayed so start taking multivitamin and iron tablet because many times because of nutritional deficiency also periods dates may get altered.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Medhavi Agarwal
