Stopped Pills, No Period
| Thu, 10-02-2003 - 2:02pm |
I recently stopped taking birth control after 20 years. I'm 35 now, and have no need for it since my husband has had a vasectomy. I don't want children, but I find it disconcerting that I have only had one period since stopping the pill, and that was one week after I stopped. It's been about 3 months. I took a pregnancy test about 3 weeks ago, and it was negative. Should I be alarmed or go to the doctor, or is this normal after being on the pill for so long?

It can take several months for your body to adjust to being off the pill.
