Have you been taking it without a break? If so then when you finish your current pack I'd have a week break before you start your next. Sorry if I've misunderstood though

So if Iv got 10pills left in this pack, do I finish them and have a pill free week before I start the next pack? What if I dont have a period?

Thanks Kina lol

Is it the normal pill that you're taking?

If you don't have a period then don't panic, it's been a while since you've had a break. I'd continue taking a pack, having a week break, then starting again for 2-3 months and if still no periods go and see your GP/Nurse.
Also some women's periods don't return for a while because of breastfeeding, I think the average age of the baby is 14 months by the time they return and I think Jam is about that isn't he?
It will probably take a little while for your hormones to settle, but if you're worried then it's best to get checked out
