No period in 6 months and not pregnant after stopping the pill

I haven't had my period in 6 months! Help! I am 18 almost 19, and after stopping the pill 6 months ago, I haven't had a period. The pill didn't agree with me which is why I stopped it, as oestrogen gives me migraines. I then tried a minipill which made me super hungry, so i stopped. But since, no period! :O I exercise a fair bit, but nothing excessive. I am fit and healthy and feel great apart from a bit of bloating here and there and the occasional twinge in my "ovary-area." I have had blood tests for thyroid function, PCOS, and pregnancy and all are negative. I also had an ultrasound for PCOS etc. and am waiting on results- looked normal to me! (but what would I know really). I got my first period at 13 and they had been pretty normal up until I was about 15/16 when they got super heavy and my cycle got a bit longer. Then they got lighter, but still were every 2 or so months. I've been off and on the pill for about 2 years since I was 16-17. Has anyone else has this problem? Please help, I'm a bit freaked out haha hoping its just the pill and it will all go back to normal!

Ugh.  Well, I'm not sure.  It does sometimes take a while for the body to 'snap back' after being on birth control.  It sounds like you've seen your doctor for this to rule out all reasons why you aren't having a regular cycle.  (which is good).  I really am guessing its the pill.  Let us know wha those ultrasound results are, okay?
