PILL for regulation????

[USMCWIFE01]

I had the mirena for 18 months.  At the beginning I still had normal periods.  As the months went on, the periods got lighter and lighter... the last 6 months, I had no period at all.  I had it removed on June 1, 2009 and I was told that I would get a period shortly after.  Well it is now 7 weeks later and I still have had no period.  I have used the ovulation prediction kit and there is no sign of me releasing an egg.  I don't expect to be pregnant right away, but without a period, I have no clue where to even begin.  

I am considering asking my doctor to put me on the pill to regulate me so that I can get normal again? Has anyone else had this issue??

When I got of the shot it took me about a year to have a period again.  I wasn't trying to get pregnant but I did want to have an IUD put in so I had to start my period to have it implanted.  I asked if plan B or pills would help to make me start and they said no.  I don't know why it wouldn't have but the doctor told me it would just prolong it.

Its ok.  I got my period finally.  I got it on the 16th of July.  The shot is much different than the IUD.  I never wanted the shot because of how long it takes to get your body back. (if you know what I mean)... needless to say, I had a very normal period earlier this month, and IF things are back to normal, I should be ovulating around this time(rt now).  Only time will tell, bc I have heard of the mirena really messing some women up.. they get a period, then dont get another for months.... thats very frustrating!
