Delay in periods?

I have taken a pill and after a month of taking it, there are no periods.

Some women will not have much if any of a withdrawal bleed when taking the birth control pill, that is OK and does not mean the pill is not working or is unsafe, you do not have blood building up in the uterus, rather, the lining doesn’t grow much when you are on the pill so there is very little to shed.
