Period after stopping BCP
| Fri, 07-30-2004 - 12:58am |
As of my last period, 6/23, I stopped my BCP. I have always been regular before BCP and while on BCP, yet I have not started my period yet. I also had my son 10mo. ago and breastfeed until he was 4mo. old. I am curious if all of these factors could be affecting the fact that I have not started my period yet. I know that some women who stop BCP take a while to get regular. Please let me know the norm and whether or not I should be concerned. Thanks, Jen

If you know that you've been using a reliable contraceptive and you're just concerned because things seem a little off-kilter, try not to worry! I know it's hard. If you're late, you can always take a pregnancy test to reassure yourself. And if it's been a couple of months and you still don't have regular periods, definitely contact your doctor to see what to do next.
Good luck!
