Is amenorrhea from taking a progesterone only pill unsafe?

I am taking a progesterone only pill and haven't had my menstrual cycle in over a year. Is this at all harmful?

Of course not. Otherwise doctors wouldn't prescribe the drug to be used this way. Many women experience this condition while using progesterone-only contraceptives including the Mirena IUD, the shot and the implant.

no it's normal to not have a period while taking the pill, i was on the pill injection for 2 years and never had a single period in that time, great.
