periods and the pill

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
i came off the pill (microgynon, which id been on about a year) in january... and i havent had a period since:eek:

i went to the docs the other day and she said to leave it a month and then go back for a preggers test, even though the liklihood of me being pregnant is pretty small. so im going to go after my exams...

anyway i was wondering if this has happened to anyone else before and what causes them to stop like this.

its getting to a point where im missing having period pains:( ;)

thanks for any help:)

    Your body will take a while to return to normal after stopping the pill. Plus, stress from exams might mess with your hormone too.

    Me :)

    I stopped taking the pill in September last year, had no periods until April when I had a few days very light spotting and now nothing since then. You're body just needs time to get back to normal and for your hormones to settle down :)
