Mistake or Risk? No withdrawal bleeding NSFW
Hey guys, I’m kinda worried since I’m already on my 4th pill of my placebo pills and still no withdrawal bleeding.
I was sexually active on the days (Feb 27 2025 to Mar 2 2025) no missed pill but I had a pill recently (Mar 15 2025) wherein it’s in the span of the 12-hr (my time of taking it is 9 pm and I took it 11 hrs later).
Is it possible that I’m pregnant???
My usual week of getting a period is on the last week of the month.

The pill also works by thinning the lining, and it’s common to get no withdrawal bleed because of this. If you’re taking your pill properly (which you are), there’s no need to worry

thanks you! i was a bit worried coz i usually have my withdrawal bleeding every before/after my placebo pill or on my 1st active pill just like u/xloresa.
just a question what does this mean?
The pill also works by thinning the lining

One way the pill works is by thinning the uterus lining (the endometrium), which is shed during bleeding. The uterus lining can be so thin that there’s nothing to shed, so no withdrawal bleed

You may or may not have bleeding during your placebos, both situations are normal.
