If you've stopped taking your birth control pill but haven't had a period for several months, you could have post-pill amenorrhea (the absence of a menstrual period).

By taking the pill you are preventing your body from naturally producing hormones involved in ovulation and menstruation. Your body has been trained to depend on the synthetic hormones found in the pill; in fact, it may no longer make as many of its own. Therefore, once you stop it can take awhile for your body to return to normal.

For most women ovulation happens right away with their period starting within four to six weeks. However, some women, like those who've taken the pill to help regulate their cycle, may not have a period for several months.

Take a pregnancy test if you don't get your period within three months. If after six months you still don't have a period, go see your doctor.
