first, when i was on the pill (various types of orthos...), i never got my period until wednesday. that would be the fourth day of fake pills, but i never took the fake pills. so i don't think the fourth day of fake pills and no period means much. i wonder, though, if taking longer to get a period even on the pill is a PCOS thing... i remember being told that with the sunday start, you'd get weekends off of periods, but since i never got my period till wednesday, i always had my period on a weekend. so i created my own thursday start, but that's neither here nor there.

maybe your periods still in the mail, so to speak.

HOWEVER, i think that failure to have withdrawl bleeding (which is what a pill period really is...) is indicatative of some other problem... i think i have heard that when you don't get withdrawl bleeding from porvera, they suspect adrenal problems? not sure... i could be misremembering. but in the past, even in months where i skipped a few days of pills and had spotting i would still have a "preiod" during the off days. if you only ever had spotting on the pill, maybe there is something else that needs looked in to?
