Hi I'm 25 and don't think I can get pregnant because of my irregular period. I only get my period if I'm on birth control. If I stop then I will NOT get it. I went almost a test without taking it and didn't get my period once doing that time. I recently started taking it again because we plan to have children. I'm guessing it my estrogen level. I'm only 25 and I'm experiencing vaginal dryness. Which makes me not enjoy sex. Please help.

Hi Anon,

Firstly, here's a video with great information about help for vaginal dryness:

Secondly, have you been to the doctor for this? Lack of period can be caused by many things. For your own health, and for the sake of getting pregnant, you should figure out why you are not getting periods without birth control. If possible, visit a doctor and get a concrete answer and go from there. Oftentimes, it can take awhile for us to be regular after taking birth control for a long time, but it may be something completely different!

Here are some other links that should be helpful to you:
