Missing periods since stopping bc pill
I stopped the birth control pill 2 months ago and have not had a period since. My doctor warned me that my periods may be "irregular" but he never mentioned missing them all together. I took a pregnancy test just to be safe and it was negative. Is this normal? I was on the pill for a very long time so I don't even remember my menstrual cycle prior.
Pills can put your cycle out of whack. If that is the case, you'd miss some of your expected dates of "arrival". It is also possible to miss even until 3 months of menstruation even if you are not pregnant, but has irregular cycle. It happened to me once (I was even a virgin then).
Go see a GYN and be checked. There are a lot of factors to rule out, and the sooner, the better.
Take care.

Things can get really strange coming off the pill. I would keep a log on your calendar - chart mood swings, bloatedness, appetite changes etc. There are a number of things to think about. You have been giving your body synthetic hormones and now have stopped cold turkey - pay attention to the details. I came off BC after 20 years and OMG!! I am glad I came off of the BC - but no one prepared for for the what happened.
My sister didn't get her period fo like 4 months after stopping the pill. I think it is kind of normal for it to be crazy out of wack at first...
