If you're not sexually active then you can assume it's likely due to stopping your BC. If you were active, then you would have had to seen a doctor.

Thanks, but av been on birth control for a long time and I only stopped dis June cos I was tired of it and was given other drugs. But now I don't want to take these new drugs anymore so I think dat must hav messed up my system. I don't want to go to the doctor cos it's too expensive. Can I just wait till it comes or do I have to go. Btw am not sexually active.

If you are sexually active, you need to take a home pregnancy test asap to find out if you are pregnant or not. Otherwise, you can make a doctor's appointment to find out why your period stopped and they can give you something to restart your period depending on the diagnosis. There are a lot of possible reasons and it's something common and nothing to stress out over.   Commonly people will have this after a hormonal change, ovarian cyst, sometimes stress, and so on. Usually they will give you the birth control pill to restart your period and it should be fine after that. Hope it all goes well.
