(2) YOU’VE BEEN ON THE PILL FOR A WHILE
Rejoice — don’t worry — if your period becomes barely-there-light or disappears altogether. With some low-dose estrogen pills and the IUD Mirena, the endometrial lining doesn’t build up, so there’s not much lining to shed, explains Melissa Goist, an ob-gyn at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “Sometimes women on these pills don’t menstruate monthly or at all,” she says. So relax, it’s completely safe. (Although if you suspect that you could be pregnant, even if you’re on the pill — it’s rare but it happens — at the risk of being redundant, take a test.)
