When I came off the pill I didn't have a period for nearly 9 months if I remember. So don't be too concerned. Mine did come back on its own and settled down to a regular pattern very quickly afterwards.

Hope this helps ease your mind a bit. It might be worth taking your temps each morning to see if you can see any temperature shifts occurring.

Thanks so much for your reply and yes, great idea re: temperature tracking. I'll give that a whirl. :) it's nice to hear other people have been in the same boat with no further problems!

Hello! I experienced the same thing as you last year. I stopped the pill and didn't have a period for 3 months when I called my Ob. After negative blood pregnancy tests she started me on progesterone to try to kick start my cycle again. When that didn't work she ran more tests and discovered an underlying thyroid issue that was preventing ovulation and therefore periods. We finally got my thyroid under control last month and I had my first unassisted period.

Long story short, call your doc. They can test to see if there is an underlying issue that could be preventing your cycle from happening. Good luck!

Hi! I just recently came off birth control after three and a half years taking it. I haven't had periods on the pill and didn't have any breakthrough bleeding or a period after coming off. I had an OBGYN appointment last week, and my doctor told me that if I still don't have a period in 6 months, then she would do some testing to make sure everything else is alright (such as thyroid, which I believe someone mentioned above). Perhaps you should contact your doctor for this kind of testing? Good luck!! :)
