I have been on birth control for a year and a half, but switched to a higher dosage pill in september. I switched because I was not having my periods during the inactive pills, but during the active ones and was still having cramps- part of the reason I was on the pill was to reduce these.
My first period after switching to these pills was fairly light in october, followed by no period at all in november, december, and now january brought nothing again. I am now engaged and decided this month to discontinue the pill as we are beginning natural family planning courses. I finished my inactive pills on sunday, and have not been taking anything at all the past 3 days. I have yet to have a period.
I took a pregnancy test in december that came up negative. I do not seem to have any signs of pregnancy- no breast tenderness, etc. The last time I had unprotected sex while on the pill was at the end of october- every other time was using a condom the pill. Therefore, if I am missing my periods because of pregnancy, I would have to be nearly 3 months along!
I am considering taking another pregnancy test to ease my nerves, but I need some feedback on this. Is it normal to miss so many periods? Shouldnt I be menstruating after getting off the pill? Or is it normal to have no period after stopping? Please help!
