Hello,

Are you taking the placebo pills in the pack? Wait another month and see what happens. If you still don't have a period, I suggest you return to see the physician who changed your prescription.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing

yes i have took all the pills in the pack. The nurse said this is normal because kelnor is a higher dose pill. I was wondering if you could confirm this. Thanks.

Hello,

You need to make an appointment to see the physician or at least speak with him or her directly.

Best regards,
