No period in 4 months on birthcontrol

I started the birth control le loestrin fe at the beginning of August (but I didn't wait until after my period came to begin taking the pills) I haven't had my period in those last four months. I had some weird symptoms like nausea and breast tenderness and discharge from late September to late October but not so much anymore. Is it normal to miss your period for that long after starting birth control or specifically lo loestrin fe?

It's unlikely since it's been four periods.  By now, a test should pick it up.  You should definitely discuss with your doctor as you shouldn't be missing periods unless you're taking the pill continuously without a placebo week.

I have taken four home pregnancy tests and they were all negative. Is there still a possibility?

Is there a possibility of pregnancy?  I know with Microgestin, it says if you miss two periods, you should test.

I would talk to your doctor if this is not a possibility.
