Why havn't I had a period in a year since coming off the pill?

I came off the pill yasmin a year ago and I haven't had a period since, though I have put on a little it of weight and my skin has become more oily but no period as yet. I went to see the doctor who did some blood tests but they came back saying that everything was ok and the doctor didn't need to see me again.

Thanks I will ring up the doctors in the morning because Im really worried that it is smething serious. Yeah I came off the pill because me and my boyfriend were planning to get pregnant but a lot of things have happened since then so the plans have been put aside for mean time. The only other thing is I can get quite bloated sometimes and tired but I put the tiredness down to work.

Get a second opinon. Not having a period in over a year is not normal. There has to be a reason as to why you are not getting your period. Yes your blood work may have came back as normal, but perhaps your doctor did not check the right hormones to figure out why you are not getting a period. Can I ask why you stopped the pill? TTC or another reason? Since you said you have gained some weight, chances could be you may have pcos. I suggest to get a second opinon, bring up all the symptoms you have and see from there. You may need Provera to jump start the period, but that can only be given when you know for sure what's going on. Do you have any other symptoms?
