Acne after stopping BC

Hi everyone,

I have been on Loette OCP for the past 2 years (2009 and 2010) and stopped taking them in Dec 2010. The last pill I took was on the 13th of December 2010. I got my period a few days later on the 15/12/2010 and since then have not got my period yet.

Problem is, after going off the pill, my face has been breaking out like crazy! I thought it would go off after a few days but its been a month and my face has never been covered with so many pimples! In early 2009, i had severe acne that cleared up mostly (with only the odd spot or two) when i started the pill.

So i am thinking of going back on the pill, since i just cannot stand the pimples anymore :( When do i start a new pack?

Can I start right away? Or should i wait till I get my period and then when thats done with start a new pack? But that could take some time and the zits are just increasing in number. If i start right away, would i end up having my period midways?

Do reply, thank you so much!!!
