Missing period after stopping BCP's Posted: 04-12-08 20:02pm


Hello! My husband and I have been TTC for almost six months now. I went off the pill in Setember of last year and have only had one period since. I went to the doctor, and she said to give it at least six months for my body to regulate itself. I'm almost at the six month mark, with no changes. Is there anything I can do to start my period, or do I have too keep waiting? (Should I start taking my BBT to see when I ovulate?)

Hi Hailey! Welcome to Ehealth. My name is Christy I'm 21 and dh and I have been ttc for 15 months now. It can take a few months for your body to regulate itself after stopping birthcontrol. Were you regular before you started birth control? There are many herbs that women use to regulate their periods. There is an herbal tea called "fertilitea" that is a good supplement. There are also many pills available to help women regulate their hormones. I suggest temping. You probably are not ovulating (hence why no period) but it will be the only way to confirm if/when you do. Plus it's a wonderful habit to get into until for when your cycle levels out some. I also suggest starting a prenatal vitamin now, if you haven't already. Good luck, I hope you stick around, it's normally more lively then this it just tends to quiet down on the weekends. Baby dust!

Thanks for the reply. I switched to a pre-natal vitamin the day I finished my last pack of pills in September. As for being regular before, I was like clock-work! I was very regular, but I was also on the pill for a long time. I just ordered my BBT thermometer today, so it should be here in a week. Hopefully it will provide me with some answers, as well as info. for my doctor. I will have to look into that fertilitea you suggested. Thanks!
