Welcome to EmpowHER. Most women after stopping birth control pill experience changes on their cycles.
If don't get a period for several months, you may have what's known as post-pill amenorrhea. The pill prevents your body from making hormones involved in ovulation and menstruation. When you stop taking the pill, it can take some time for your body to return to normal production of these hormones.
You might need to discuss this with your doctor, just to confirm you are not pregnant.
