Thread: Period-less for 60 days

I'm looking for information about birth control and its effect on periods and pregnancy. I've seen many postings from women who've gone through similiar experiences so I hope you can enlighten me.

I started my period (very light) when I was 16 and only had one more by the time I was 18 (again very light). Since the age of 18, I have been on several different kinds of birth control (orthoevra, the patch, seasonale) to regulate my cycle. It's now 9 years later, and I've decided to stop taking bc because I'd like to start a family within the next year. It has been two months since I've stopped and I have not had a period and the home pregnancy tests I've taken were negative. I realize that I need to let my body re-adjust.

So my questions are: When should I start to worry? What kinds of questions should I ask my doctor? What are the effects, if any, of bc on conceiving? How will I know if I have a fertility problem? If I do have a problem menstruating, what would the doctor be able to do for me? Could medication trigger ovulation? If so, what options are available?
