No period after stopping birth control

Stacey · Guest

I was on a birth control (Allesse?) for about 11 years and stopped about 7weeks ago because my wanted to start to try to have a baby. I haven't gotten a period yet, and have tested negative to pregnancy. I'm pretty sure that if I don't get the period back than I can't get pregnant. I realize it takes time for the cycle to get back to normal, but I also know that a low body fat content could play a role in ammoneria. I am 5'2 and weight about 115lbs. Should I continue to put down cake and ice cream at night just to get a period back?

I don’t think that your weight has anything to do with the absence of your period. It may actually take 3 months (or more in some cases) for your period to come back to normal. Usually, the period becomes irregular not absent and maybe you could see a gynecologist to get the shot to induce your period if possible.

Not having period doesn’t necessarily mean that you are not ovulating. You may be ovulating but still have no period and I reckon you could get pregnant but I also think that you should see a gyn if you don’t have your period soon.
