MedHelp Member's Question

Stopping Birth Control

I am a 19 yr old female and have been on Otrtho Tri Cyclen Lo for about 2 1/2+ years.About 2 months ago I stopped taking my pills and received a long/heavy period right afterwards. Since then I have not had a period...Whats up with that? I have only had sex a few times these past two months most of which have been protected. If I'm not pregnant what's wrong with me? Is this normal?

Hi- this is not the right forum for your question. Go to one of medhelp's gynecological doctors and they will give you an answer. Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D.
