Going off pill, period is not coming

Unread post by Penelope »

Hello there,
I have some concerns about going off pills. In November, I finished my last pack of pills and had withdrawal bleed during the last 7 placebo pills like usual. However, I didnt't get my period after one month after stopping pills and right now it is going to be two months soon. I didn't have sex after I stopped the pill, so there is no risk of pregnancy, right? So will I have to wait until 3 months to see if I'm getting my natural period back or do I need to go check up with doctor? I am quite worried about it :(

Hi Penelope,

When you stop a birth control method all together, that can sometimes lead to your cycle being "off" for a awhile after you stop. So it's likely that's what's happening here.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
