Birth Control Problem?

Okayy, i have a slight problem. i take birth control for my cramps not for the other reason, and i am on the green pills so i should be having my period but i havent so far? i know some people skip there periods alot. but can you still skip your period when on birth control? Im not sexually active so don't be like ohh your pregnant becasue im not. Thanks so much!

Update:

Just to let you know, ive tried that my doctor put me on it because my cramps were so bad, so dont complain to me saying i shouldn't be on it.

Update 2:

its the third month i've been on it

    I think it's not normal that you are skipping your period, but because it is only the third month you're on it you may just be getting regulated. You may still get it later on, but you may just wait until next (well I guess this) month. I would tell your mom though, she may know something about it that she hasn't told you or something, or maybe she'll take you to the doctor. I think someone needs to know just in case this isn't supposed to happen.

    Just make sure you're eating right because if you're not then you won't get your period and if you're not eating AND on birth control, that could cause a problem with your reproductive system and your stomach.

    Hope this helps! =]

    OK i dont agree with the last comment that you shouldnt take it when you arent sexually active because i was put on it too to help my skin and at the time was sexually inactive so!!

    i would say double check you took it at the right time in your last cycle etc and how long have you been on it?? if its the first month i guess it might take a littile longer. i stop taking mine on the thursday but i dont start my period until the monday or tuesday so if you havent yet started the next packet then just wait and see! =]

    umm if you dont start though i would go and see the dr just to be sure nothing is wrong =]

    hope i helped in some way!

    EDIT ---

    Hope you read this =]

    As its the third month, what day did you normally start on? Have you majorly changed your diet or exercise etc recently??

    This might all have an influence on it so i think that if none of this has changed and you still don't get it by the time you start the next pack and you aren't sexually active then just go to the dr and see what he suggests

    Don't take hormonal birth control if you are not having sex as it can mess up your developing reproductive system when you are young. Best, G

    Cycle Pain:

    The night before your cycle starts or at the very beginning of your cycle, have an ibuprofen (Advil) and this will help immediately with cramping and will most likely reduce your flow by half throughout your cycle. Learn when you ovulate so you can predict exactly when your next cycle will start. Always circle the first day of your cycle on your calendar. Check out Cycle Savvy for more fascinating cycle knowledge. Justisse also has an online guide for understanding our cycles and our bodies. Learning when you ovulate will also help you to prevent pregnancy if you have occasional sexual intimacy so that you can avoid your days of fertility.
