Delayed Periods After Stopping Sprintec Birth Control Pills. Are There Any Chances Of Pregnancy?
Hey my name is Leanna, I am18 years old and have taken birth control since I was 13. I started with yaz, t
hen went to ortho tricyclen lo ( pretty sure that's what its called) and my.last birth control was sprintec. I stopped using sprintec about 2 months ago, only because I had no more refills and have to see my doctor before they give me more refills, my appointment isn't until december 17th. When I was on the birth control I always got my period on the same day. But since iv stopped taking it I still haven't gotten my period. I had sex about 3 times the week before I stopped taking it although he did not get off (cum) any of those times we had sex. Why am I not getting my period, am I somehow pregnant, or is it normal to not get it? I am really worried about this and have been researching but can't find an answer to my problem, please help me solve my problem

Hi,Dear.It is a normal thing if you missed your periods after stopping birth control pills,as you are on these pills since 5 years so it can happen and last upto 3months.This doesnt means that you are pregnent.but if you didnt get them for more than 90 days then we are supposed to think about it.In your case there is nothing to worry.try to abstain urself untill you start your next schedule of pills or use any other method of contraception.take good diet and drink plenty of water and be stress free.
