3rd month of no period & not pregnant

I'm not BFing, but I'm on Loestrin Fe ... 3 out of 4 months I haven't gotten my period. Its starting to make me a little nervous, no BC has ever took away my period completely. Is anyone else not getting theirs on the pill? I've been talking to DH about quitting, I'd like to make sure I'm still ovulating/regular so we don't run into trouble when we want to start TTC.

This recently happened to me and it freaked me out! Both my OB and PCP says not having a period while on the pill is completely normal. They said something to the effect of "it's the way they make the pill nowadays and it's normal to have spotting, light period or no period while on the pill." It still freaks me out though, so I'm off the pill this month to see what happens.

My OB told me that when I called questioning it. It just doesn't seem normal.. or natural!

I thought the same thing--I am on the same pill.  The first month I had breakthrough bleeding and had a super weird period.  The following four months-Nothing.  I love it, but I have to admit it does freak me out a little!

Same pill here - and I actually had my yearly gyn appointment today, and asked my doctor much the same thing. She said that because of the low amount of hormone in the pill, many women have a light or no period at all. Her exact words concluded with "some women love it, and it freaks some out!"

Happened to my friend on that pill.  Me, I just finished a 7 day period, same pill.  Crazy pill.

I was on this pill for 2 years and didn't have a period the entire time.  It freaked me out, but my gyno said it was fine. I decided to go off of it that year in March, since I knew I was getting married soon and wanted to TTC, and got my period by May.  We got married and started TTC shortly thereafter, and didn't have any issue getting pregnant.
