Just came off the pill and need to know if anyone else is having this problem. Please answer....?

Question

I am 16 and was on the pill. I didnt get them filled and stopped taking them. I have not gotten my period since my last one which was two months ago.I get cramps but no period. I am not sexually active and need to know if this is a side affect. Has anyone else experienced this? Im a little worried.

Answer 1

I am going through a very similar problem. I was on the pill from the age of 16 through 25. Since I came off the pill 8 months ago I haven't had a period.
My doctor says I shouldn't worry and it may take up to a year for my cycle to settle down.
The pill works by putting hormones into your body to prevent pregnancy. It takes time for your body to adjust after you stop putting the hormones in.
You probably have absolutely nothing to worry about and your periods will come back over the coming weeks and months. If you are still worried though - go and see your doctor to put your mind at rest.

Answer 2

Have you contacted your doctor? It is normal up to certain point, that your period is unbalanced after quitting the pill. This is because your body has been used to getting hormones from the pill, and now it is suddenly not getting those hormones. It can throw off your cycle for a while, probably the next two or three months.But just to make sure, I would suggest you seek medical attention to it.

Answer 3

You don't state WHY you were on the pill if you aren't sexually active. If you were on it to regulate your periods then that is why you're having problems now. You really need to go back and talk to your OB/GYN about this. They can explain it a lot better than most folks here can.

Answer 4

birth control especially the pill regulates your period. so if your off it anything could happen; even when you've been on a certain one and then you switch. i was on the pill and then i got the shot and i got my period for 3 months straight once so i recomend staying on the same birth control.
