Going off the pill

I have been on bcp for 7 1/2 years. I recently went to the dr for my yearly check up and she recommended that I go off the pill for a few months b/c I have been on it for so long. I finished the pack I was on. That period was not a normal one, late and very light. My husband and I used condoms all month. We were very careful, we don't plan on children. I was supposed to start last Saturday. A week later I still havn't started and there are no signs. In seven years I have not missed a period, except for when I was on depo 4 years ago. When I went off the depo I started my period like normal. My periods for the past 4 years have been very predictable. I could tell you what day and the exact time on when I should start. Now my question: Is it normal to miss your period after stopping the pill? While on the pill, I didn't get nauseated or light headed if I didn't take the pill at the same time everyday or even if I missed a pill, like most people do. But for the past 2 weeks I have been very sick to my stomach. Also, when my test results came back from the dr, there was an abdnormity in my results and I will be restested in June. Could this cause a problem with having my periods?
Thank you in advance for any help.

I have thought about an IUD, but my dr doesn't think that is a very good idea either, because I have never had children. I didn't know that there was a hormone free IUD.
I had mine put in at a womens health center. Try looking for a better doctor.
