I went of the birth control pill for good and haven't had my period for 3 months. Do I technically have amenorrehea? Should I be worried, or do you think it will come back in time? I'm concerned about calcium in my bones, etc, that come with amenorrehea.
I am 113 lbs and 5'3", pretty healthy and active enough... I eat well... I have also been on red raspberry leaves to lessen the impact of going off the pill for my acne (i don't know if that would mess up my periods or not..). I am NOT pregnant.

This is actually quite normal. Some women won't get a period for several months after taking birth control. I wouldn't worry yet about amenorrehea. Your NORMAL! Stop thinking about it and your cycle will pick up again. Your body is tricked into thinking your pregnant when your on the pill and it takes a while for all the hormones to leave your body.

I am no expert. Yes, this qualifies as amenorerhea. It could be residual from the birth control pills or maybe even your activities -- women who are more athletic tend to have less of or fewer menstrual periods than those who are not. Any way you cut it, you should go and seek out expert/qualified medical advice. Best of health and luck!
