I stopped taking bcp in April of last year after 8 yrs of use...and my periods have been pretty much non existent since!..I am 27 yrs old. My last 'normal" period was in October..After numerous negative pg test I called my Dr and went and had blood work and ultrasound done..My Dr didn't seem to be worred. My hormone levels were nomal,tyroid was normal,my ultrasound was normal(no cysts or anything), another negative pg test...she gave me some progesterone pills to take for 2 weeks to make me start and on the 11th day I finally did...was a light period (which mine were always light) but it was a period just the same!..Well, that was the 19 of March and now it is the end of April and I didn't have one this month..The Dr. thught that the progesterone would jumpstart my body into having periods again...I have gained about 25 pounds since being off the pill..has anyone else experienced this? my Dr. doesn't seem concerned b/c all the tests were normal..I'm very confused by this!!........

I'm experiencing the same thing! It's been about 10 weeks since my last period and I am scheduled to go see the doctor soon. Sounds like they'll be running the same tests for me. I just want my period to come back! I'm almost ready to go back on the Pill so everything will be normal again.

If you're not getting satisfaction from your current doctor, you may want to find another one.

I've had the same issue since I stopped taking the pill. I went to my doctor who ran all of the exact same tests. From what I've been told, not all women have a period every month. It has now been about 10 weeks since my last period and I am finally fed up with worrying about pregnacy. So, I'm going to take the pill again once I start. Best wishes!
