Wasn't sure to put this in Drugs & Meds or here, if it should be moved then that's okay.

I started birth control in December. I take Lo Loestrin Fe. I'm currently on the first week of the 4th month and I haven't gotten my period since I started. I spotted about 3 times, verrrrry lightly. Like, only when I wiped. I've taken it everyday, I only missed it twice but I took two the next day like the doctor said.

I'm 99% sure I'm not pregnant. I only had protected sex once, and at that point my period was already like 3 weeks late so I entirely doubt it.

I know I need to see my doctor but it's not really a possibility right now because I'm in New Hampshire until June without my health insurance info or birth certificate or anything.

Is this normal? I know it takes 3 months to adjust but I'm in the 4th month now and getting worried.

Could you call your regular doctor at home? They should be happy to answer a question like that.
