Stopped Birth Control Pill Marvelon, Nor Getting Periods.Is It Normal To Go This Long Without Getting My Period? HPT Negative
I stopped taking the birth control pill 'Marvelon' at the beginning of January. I had one (short) period approximately 3 weeks afterwards, but I haven't had any sign of a menstrual cycle since then. As a reference, I have been on some form of oral contraceptive for the last 10 years uninterrupted. Is it normal to go this long without getting my period? I have taken 2 home pregnancy tests just to make sure (in February and March) and they were both negative.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You can have irregular periods till 6 months after stoppage of birth control pills.
For withdrawal bleeding you can use progesterone tablets after consultation with your doctor & to rule out pregnancy get serum beta-HCG test done.
Take Care.
