Do Sugar Pills Prevent Period?

Im on the second day of my sugar pills and I still haven't gotten my period. I'm suppose to start a new pack on saturday. I haven't had sex so I'm wondering what could possibly be the reason for my period not coming on time. This is my third month on the pill.

Hello,

Period may be delayed due to hormonal imbalance, stress, emotional upset, weight gain, PCOD etc. You should continue sugar pill before starting new pill pack and wait few days to get period naturally.

You may need to undergo one ultrasound scan and hormone test to confirm the diagnosis (in absence of period). Kindly, consult with your doctor. Good luck.
