I'm new here! I was needing some input from anyone who has experienced the same thing I am. I stopped taking BC in November. At the end of December I had a period. I was a week late, but I had a normal period. It is now Feb 16th and I haven't had another one. I've taken 2 tests which were both negative. Feb 2010 I missed several pills bc I went on a trip and forgot them so I decided I would restart them after I started my period again. Well...I didn't have another period until June and that was started by taking Progesterone the Doctor prescribed me to start my period. I, then, started back on BC. I am terrified that I have something seriously wrong and that I won't be able to have kids. I understand when you are on BC for awhile your body stops producing hormones on it's own and it takes time afterwards for it to regulate itself and start working right again. Before BC, my periods were pretty regular. Every now and then I would be late, but I always had a period every month. Anyone else having this same issue?
I've never been on bc so can't answer that part of your question. But since it does affect your hormones & it does take time to leave your body, it is just going to take time to regulate. It can take up to a year.
You might want to start taking Vitex & B6 as they can naturally help regulate your cycles.
