I've been taking placebo pills for 4 months and I still don't have my period. Is this normal?

I had some pain in my lower abdomen today, but I have no blood, no discharge! I usually get my period after 3 days of placebo

Hello Ma'am,

Yes, it does happen sometimes to have such delays.

Among other things, stress may be at fault here.

Continue with the placebos as prescribed, being careful not to take more than 7 days of placebo. In fact, taking more than 7 days increases your risk of pregnancy in the next cycle.

Happy day,

Alexander
