Stopping a continuous dose and Pregnancy

I've been on a continuous dose of birth control for a little over a year and have decided to go back to having a monthly cycle. I started my placebo pills 2 days ago and still have not started my period. Is there a greater risk of pregnancy when you suddenly quit the pill after months of not having a period?

On another note, can anyone recommend a pill that helps with mood swings and low sex drive that won't cause acne problems and weight gain? Does such a pill even exist?

I usually dont start my period til my 5th plecebo pill. Sometimes it just takes a while. As for the other thing, can't really help you there sorry.
