Hi Anon and thanks for your question. Yes, you can stop now.
In most cases your period should resume within three months after you stop taking the pill. Some women, however, may not have a period for many months, especially those who were taking the pill to regulate their cycles.
If you find that you don't have a period within three months then take a pregnancy test to be sure you're not pregnant and contact your doctor. You could have what's known as post-pill amenorrhea.
When you stop taking the pill, it can take some time for your body to return to normal production of the hormones involved with ovulation and menstruation, and your doctor can support you in both evaluating and dealing with the situation.
