Hi, I’ve been on the rivgdon pill for two years now, for some reason my period hasn’t occurred for my break in between. Any reason why?

🤔If the person who prescribed this medication didn’t explain that this would happen..go back and ask for a proper explanation of how it works.

Copied from netdoctor.co.uk

The most common side effects of Rigevidon include headaches, feeling sick, breast tenderness and mood changes.

▪️ Breakthrough bleeding, spotting and missed periods can be common in the first few months. See your doctor if this persists. If you don't have a period for two consecutive months, do a pregnancy test before starting the next month's packet of pills.

Obviously you aren’t having a 2yr pregnancy, but you need to discuss missed periods with your doctor.
