Went on birth control and stopped getting periods after I stopped the pill!


Question Posted Saturday March 13 2010, 11:51 pm

Hi, I'm a 29 year old woman.

I was on Loestrin 24 Fe birth control pills for close to 4 years now, and before that I tried the ortho tri-cyclen for almost two years. When I started missing my periods completely I decided to stop taking the birth control pill so that my cycles returned (I'm not sexually active right now). It's now been THREE (3) months of NO birth control pills and I've still not had a period.

I'm really worried that I've messed something up by taking the fake hormones for so many years. I don't know why I wouldn't have my period at all for three solid months after stopping the birth control. In total, I've have not had a period for six months now in a row!

Anyone else have this experience? How do I get my cycle back? Please help because I want a family some day!

Talk to your doctor.

The idea that 'taking birthcontrol for years' is somehow bad for you, is pretty much just a myth from people and organzations who are anti-sex and anti-contraception. It's very, very rare for women to have a negative response to birth control after taking it without a problem for so long. However, if something about your body has changed, of course you should talk to a doctor.
